No matter what I did, the data LV stubbornly retained the same minor device no. as the winex LV. It wasn't until I booted from recovery CD, mounted the root part'n, and looked in /dev/*_vg that I had an idea. data_vg had just a "data" entry (not counting "group"), instead of the three that it has when LVM is up and running. I thought maybe that entry, since it clearly remained on disk between boots, was interfering when vgscan is run at boot. So I deleted it. At the next reboot, data_vg didn't come up. So *then* I ran vgscan -f , and finally I had different minor device nos. for the LVs in data_vg! Another reboot, and I was back in business. Thanks for telling me the command to run, Luca. -- --Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Hill <>< Isaiah 9:6 | michael AT mhill DOT net | # find / -name '*[Bb][Aa][Ss][Ee]*' \ Aerospace/Software Engineer | > -user your -print | xargs chown us:cats http://www.qadas.com/~msh/ | ---In a marketplace (like the one of ideas), not everything has equal value!--- Did you ever notice that everybody in favor of abortion has already been born?!
