You need to remove this. fafner:~# grep hdc /etc/lvm/lvm.conf # Or maybe all loops and ide drives except hdc: # filter =[ "a|loop|", "r|/dev/hdc|", "a|/dev/ide|", "r|.*|" ] fafner:~# grep cdrom /etc/lvm/lvm.conf # Exclude the cdrom drive filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" ] fafner:~# ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2005-05-08 21:27 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc This is likely to be the cause of the problem!
