I have a situation here where I have to Volume groups VolumeMailData and vg0 I just created 2 more Logical Volumes(LV) on VolumeMailData to make a total of 4. I then rebooted and got this error vgscan - found an inactive volume group "VolumeMailData" vgscan - found an inactive volume group "vg0" vgscan - volume group "vg0" reuses an existing logical volume number; please vgexport/vgimport that VG or use option -f .... kernel panic: no init found; try passing init= VolumeMailData gets activated. But my root (/) is on vg0 which doesnt get activated and I am dead in the water. I can detach my JBOD/RAID Array which makes up VolumeMailData so I can boot. This way it doesnt find the inactive volume group VolumeMailData and vgo is able to come up normaly How can I fix this problem, as it is I kinda need both volume groups functioning simantaniously :) Thanks, Joe Kezar _______________________________________________ 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/
