I posted a message on this, but no-one has an answer. I try again. I dual boot my machine between RedHat 9 and Gentoo 1.4. Both use the same PV, and share several LVs. In RedHat all operates as expected. In Gentoo, the LVs are usable, but lvscan, lvcreate, etc give the following error: root@gecko root # lvscan lvscan -- ERROR "pv_status_all_pv_of_vg(): no PV" getting status of volume group "Volume00" Running pvscan in Gentoo shows the PV to be inactive: root@gecko root # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2" of VG "Volume00" [53.71 GB / 33.32 GB free] pvscan -- total: 1 [53.71 GB] / in use: 1 [53.71 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Yet, the LVs can be mounted without trouble. What can I do to correct this? -- Jord Tanner <jord@indygecko.com> _______________________________________________ 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/
