If the LVM module is loaded in the initrd, then Red Hat knows it needs to run vgscan/change so that it could mount LVM devices at boot time. What you need to do is re-create your initrd (mkinitrd). If you have LVM mounts in /etc/fstab than the LVM module will be included. If not, use the --with=lvm-mod option to mkinitrd. lvmcreate_initrd seems quite broken on RH systems, as it doesn't take advantage of /dev/MAKEDEV and tries to copy every /dev/* file to the initrd, thus running it out of space. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
