Hello folks, I have been trying to create a snapshot of a filesystem on a RHEL AS4 system. Here is the command line and the error message: # lvcreate --size 100m --snapshot --name snap01 /dev/HDVL/db01 snapshot: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel I copied the example right out of the man page. I'm not sure what it means that the device-mapper target is not detected in the kernel. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951 _______________________________________________ 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/
