Hello - I'm experiencing an error when trying to scan my volume groups after a reboot. When running vgscan, I get: vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "pv_read_all_pv_of_vg(): no PV" can't get data of volume group "storage" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group I am running lvm 1.0.7 on top of software raid 5 on 2.4.21. I grabbed a fresh copy of 2.4.21 from kernel.org, configured lvm, made the patchset, patched the kernel, configed the kernel, and then made the kernel...so I think I'm following all the directions. As the raid array is running without problems (all drives online, and array is clean), I suspect a problem with lvm. Also, just for clarification, on a reboot (after I load the disk controller module, but before I run any lvm commands) if I dd /dev/zero over /dev/md/0, I am able to pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate, mkfs, and mount just fine. After a reboot, however, I get the above error. Any ideas? I don't particularly like the idea of a 1/2TB of volatile storage. - Nathan _______________________________________________ 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/
