Hi List, Just to provide some friendly critique for LVM, I wanted to tell you that I just spent a couple of hours trying to find out why I got the message "create ioctl failed: No such device or address" when activating a volume group after the first reboot after I had created a couple of new LVs in another VG. After browsing through the kernel sources, it seems the VG that I had modified got activated first by vgchange, and the new LVs came to occupy the persistent minors that I had allocated in the failing VG, which was the cause for its failure to activate. I was able to reallocate those LVs without too much trouble, so the problem was solved, but it would certainly have helped if the error message was more helpful. After having read the source, I do understand that it seems hard to propagate the exact cause from the kernel to userspace, but it should be reasonable to print something to the dmesg, at least. In all else, thanks for makgin LVM!
