Hi,
    I am using mandrake 10.2 , and have installed
    1)device-mapper.1.01.05.tgz
    2)LVM2.2.01.15.tgz
    and have untar the patches in "/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-6mdk"

I have succesfully created physical volume using :         pvcreate
then created volume group using                        :         vgcreate



[root@localhost ~]# vgdisplay
