Rupert, do all 3 PVs show up active (the [] following 'PV:' should contain 'AA' unless you set a PV to inallocatable) in /proc/lvm/global ? if so pvdisplay (pv_status in the library respectively) doesn't seem to get the PV_ACTIVE status from the kernel correctly.

I am using a very standard install of Redhat 8.0 (Kernel 2.4.18-14smp (I guess the "-14smp" is some Redhat version number.)) with LVM version 1.0.3(19/02/2002). I used the Redhat installer to create a single VG (datavg) and LV (datalv) made up of 3 PVs (hdd5 hdd6 hdd7 (Yes all three PVs are on the same disk as this is just a test setup.)). This all went fine and the installer created an ext3 filesystem on top of the LV. I have put some data on the filesystem and rebooted a few times to test it out and everything works great. Now the 'problem': two of my PVs (hdd5 hdd7) have a status of "NOT available" (reported by pvdisplay). This is very strange as the whole setup seems to work fine and all three PVs are on the same disk (which is working fine). I have attached various files which are the outputs of some of the LVM utilities that seemed useful. I would be very grateful if anyone could shed any light on this problem and what I have done wrong. Thanks. Rupert
