Hello!
I've just created new pv & vg, wanted to create lv over it, but
suddenly found there is nothing in /dev or /sys/block or
/sys/class/block related to that vg
a bit info:
I already have another pvs & volume group (inktomia) & lv, working nice:
root@delta:~# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "vgsphinx" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "inktomia" using metadata type lvm2
new vg is "vgsphinx".
root@delta:~# vgdisplay vgsphinx
--- Volume group ---
VG Name vgsphinx
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 1
Metadata Sequence No 1
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 0
Open LV 0
Max PV 0
Cur PV 1
Act PV 1
VG Size 111.79 GB
PE Size 4.00 MB
Total PE 28618
Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0
Free PE / Size 28618 / 111.79 GB
VG UUID 9TSHZX-DbFk-2kSl-RI6I-XYOH-gMho-eI2wsZ
filter looks ok too:
root@delta:~# egrep '^[[:space:]]+filter' /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
filter = [ "a/.*/" ]
nothing interesting in dmesg.
steps i did when trying to resolve issue:
root@delta:~# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "vgsphinx" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "inktomia" using metadata type lvm2
root@delta:~# vgchange -a y
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vgsphinx" now active
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "inktomia" now active
root@delta:~# vgmknodes -v
Finding all logical volumes
root@delta:~# ls -la /sys/block/

so, /devices/virtual/block/dm-0 is from vg "inktomia", and there is no
new vg here
