Hello, I am upgrading from 2.4.23/LVM1 to 2.6.0 and have run into a bit of an issue. I built the device-mapper support into the kernel statically... I converted the volumes: vgconvert <vol> I ran vgscan and got the following: Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "vol1" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "vol0" using metadata type lvm2 I am not using devfs of course so I ran ./devmap_mknod.sh device-mapper kernel module not loaded: can't create /dev/mapper/control. I compiled device-mapper support in statically but the entries in /proc do not exist? What did I do wrong? more importantly... is it recoverable? I thank anyone who can possibly shed some light on this for me. ______________________________________ John Celoria <celoria@roguewave.com> Unix Administrator; Rogue Wave/Quovadx _______________________________________________ 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/
