Hi all, I'm experimenting with lvm2 on a patched 2.4.20 kernel with xfs filesystem volumes on a dual 2.4GHz Xeon box. I built a pv on a 1.8TB RAID 5 array, (/dev/sda), created a volume group (vg0), and created several logical volumes: data 200G xfs home 200G xfs backup 600G xfs installs 200G xfs I dd'd from /dev/zero a 500MB file onto the data lv. I then used lvcreate -s -n snaptest -c 1M -L 200G /dev/vg0/data The command returned with the following error: device-mapper ioctl cmd 2 failed: Invalid argument couldn't load device 'vg0-snaptest' logical volume snaptest created Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? An lvs shows it there, but it does not seem to appear in /dev/vg0/ and I cannot mount it.
