I'm using lvm2-2.00.15 and device-mapper-1.00.17 on a Slackware (x86) system, with a 2.6.9 kernel and udev-026. I've created a volume group and a logical volume without any trouble, but the file system I built on the volume won't mount at boot-up. That's apparently because the 'vgscan' program run from the system initialization script does not find an volume groups. After the system boots, 'vgscan' works fine. I can get the file system mounted by putting /sbin/vgscan 2>/dev/null sleep 10 /sbin/vgchange -ay /sbin/mount -a in 'rc.local'. Does anyone have a idea why 'vgscan' would fail in the sytem initialization script, but succeed in 'rc.local'?
