Once I created the /proc directory and manually mounted it I was able to run vgscan without any problems. Basically, I did: # mkdir /proc # mount -t proc proc /proc # vgscan # vgdisplay # mount -a and everything worked. I hear you saying that there's a better way for me to backup my system. Right now I'm just rsync-ing from each of the partitions on the primary drive to the secondary drive. Is there something I should do at "mirror" time to facilitate the lvm setup coming up better next time? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
