You probably want to limit it to /dev/md* so that it doesn't get confused by things it finds on the raw disk partition devices. You can do this with: filter = [ "r|^/dev/hd*|" ] in the devices block of your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf. If you do not have an /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, you can copy the sample config in the lvm2 distribution or create a fresh one with: # lvm dumpconfig > /etc/lvm/lvm.conf You could also make the filter more specific if you want: filter = [ "r|^/dev/hdc*|" ] mossmann _______________________________________________ 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/
