Hi, I've created a pv, vg and lv via pvcreate, vgcreate and lvcreate. Everything went well. But when I tried to initialize a filesystem via mkfs.xfs I get following error: VGDA in Kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; please run vgscan When I run vgscan nothing is changed. How can I fix this without rebooting? any hints? ciao dieter -- registered linuxuser 199810 it's time to close windows.... _______________________________________________ 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/
