i am using 4 etherdrives that are block devices and present in the /dev directory as: brw-rw---- 1 root root 152, 0 Nov 5 16:34 /dev/etherd/e0.0 brw-rw---- 1 root root 152, 16 Nov 5 16:34 /dev/etherd/e0.1 brw-rw---- 1 root root 152, 32 Nov 5 16:34 /dev/etherd/e0.2 brw-rw---- 1 root root 152, 48 Nov 5 16:34 /dev/etherd/e0.3 when i try to create a physical volume out of one of them: [root@redhat proc]# pvcreate /dev/etherd/e0.1 /dev/etherd/e0.1: Couldn't find device. when i scan for available disks with "lvmdiskscan" these disks do not display. it looks like a filter problem within lvm.conf but i have made some changes and it doesnt seem to work. these are the lines in my lvm.conf file that i believe are responsible for finding block devices: scan = [ "/dev" ] filter = [ "a/.*/" ] (all other filters are commented out) not sure if it helps but in /sys/block i can see entries like this: [root@redhat block]# ls -l /sys/block/etherd\!e0.0/ total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 5 16:35 dev drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Nov 5 16:35 queue -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 5 16:35 range -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 5 16:35 size -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 5 16:35 stat _______________________________________________ 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/
