Hi,
It still refuses.
# vgmknodes -v volgrp0
Using logical volume(s) on command line
# vgchange -a y

# vgdisplay volgrp0

/dev/hda3 [ 12.49 GB] LVM physical volume

2 partitions
0 LVM physical volume whole disks
1 LVM physical volume
I can't see what might be wrong. The file in /dev/volgrp0 is a symlink to /dev/mapper/volgrp0-
volume1 and not /dev/mapper/volgrp0/volume1. Could that be the problem?
Any other ideas?
