I'm trying to upgrade one of my Fedora Core 1 boxes to FC2, which has
the root filesystem on LVM. The installer won't allow me to ugprade
because, it seems, vgscan is returning an error.
The output of "lvm vgscan -v -d" from a VC whilst running the installer
is:
1 PV(s) found for VG mainvg: expected 2
Volume group "mainvg" not found
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Wiping internal cache
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Finding all volume groups
Finding volume group "mainvg"
"lvm pvscan" gives:
1 PV(s) found for VG mainvg: expected 2
Logical volume (usrvol) contains an incomplete mapping table.
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Wiping internal cache
Walking through all physical volumes
PV /dev/hda7 VG mainvg lvm1 [19.82 GB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [19.82 GB] / in use: 1 [19.82 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
so it doesn't recognise /dev/hda2 as a PV, for some reason.
When booted into FC1, /proc/lvm/global has:
LVM module LVM version 1.0.5+(22/07/2002)
Total: 1 VG 2 PVs 2 LVs (1 LV open 1 times)

Usage [KB/PE]: 25907200 /6325 total 25907200 /6325 used 0 /0 free
PVs: [AA] hda2 5120000 /1250 5120000 /1250 0 /0

LVs: [AWDL ] usrvol 5120000 /1250 1x open
[AWDL ] storevol 20787200 /5075 close
and back booted into the FC2 installer,
# lvm pvdisplay /dev/hda2
Failed to read physical volume "/dev/hda2"
Any ideas how I can get round this?

joe
