I'm still having difficulty getting LVM to behave itself on a 2.4 kernel when it works fine on a 2.2 kernel. I'm using beta7 on both kernels - the 2.4 kernel is 2.4.10.ac4 which seems to have version beta7(ish) in it. I'm booting through initrd as /root is on LVM. vgscan appears to work ok but vgchange fails with: Error- can't get names of physical volumes - please check if /proc is mounted. Well, /proc is mounted - in fact if it isn't mounted I don't this error. What does this error message mean and what's likely to be wrong to cause it? Many thanks Dick _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
