[linux-lvm] Question about LVM

[이홍석]

HI! Heinz Manelshagen

I am hongseok Lee.
I am a student working on sungkyunkwan Univ. in korea.
I tried to construct Logical Volume Management (LVM) in my PC,
 but I don't know how I can't do anymore.

First I pactched Linux-version 2.4.0 and uploaded LVM 0.9.1-Beta5.
It is successfully.
So I maked 3 Physical volume. (/dev/hdb1, /dev/hdb2, /dev/hdb3)
And I tried to make VG, But it is not available.
I think PV's state are inactive is primary problem.
Therfore I can't do any progress.
How can I change this PV state is active and VG state is available?
Plz, check next text result and give me some advice.
I red LVM HOWTO. But there is no describe this problem.

- RESULT

pvscan.txt
