(seems that this did not came through the first time?!) Hi. (Talking always about lvm2...) Is there a real technical difference between pvscan, vgscan and lvscan? I mean as far as I understand one always needs all information about PVs,VGs and LVs in order to get the later. So apart from different textual "debug" output, do all the same, i.e. scanning over all configured block devices, looking for PVs and scanning their VG-descriptors in order to get the information about al LVs? Is there ever the need to rund pvscan/vgscan/lvscan manually and if so in which cases? I mean the vgscan manpage says that this happens automatically in lvm2, so if I e.g. have my init-scripts and want to make the LVs available, is it generally enough to do vgchange -an or can there be cases when the preceding vgscan is still required? Thanks, Philippe. _______________________________________________ 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/
