Steps to Reproduce: configure logical volume vgscan pvcreate /dev/hdc1 vgcreate vg1 /dev/hdc1 lvcreate -n lv001 -L 1000G vg1 After a reboot when the machine comes up i see these messages Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: [ OK ] Setting up Logical Volume Management: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43 After adding the line " alias block-major-43 off" i can turn off these messages. Question : Why is lvm looking for this block major 43 device [ nbd ]. Does it scan all the block major devices to locate pv's. I am using LVM 1.0.8 on RHEL 3. -- Thanks -Sachin ----------------------------------- Sachin Sant Linux Technology Center IBM Software Lab Bangalore, INDIA. sachinp@in.ibm.com Ph: 91-80-5044647 ----------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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/
