Thanks Alasdair, it turns out that have to explicitly enable lvm1 support by: ./configure --with-lvm1=internal However, now, I'm seeing the following problem. I have installed both lvm1 and lvm2 utilities onto the same system, with the lvm-mod and device-mapper from lvm2. I want to test out whether lvm2 utilities can detect configurations created from lvm1 utilities. + pvcreate fails when I'm using the lvm1 utilities. [root@DAP-RHLNX1 sbin]# ./vgscan -v vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- creating empty "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group [root@DAP-RHLNX1 sbin]# ./pvcreate /dev/hda7 pvcreate -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; please run vgscan + However, pvcreate succeed when I'm using the lvm2's pvcreate [root@DAP-RHLNX1 sbin]# pvcreate /dev/hda7 Physical volume "/dev/hda7" successfully created Is there anything wrong with my setup here? Does lvm1 utilities work with lvm-mod from lvm2? How can I resync the state between the VGDA in kernel and lvmtab? Do anyone know how I can get it to work with lvm1's pvcreate?
