hi, When I boot my system ( a test box ) the VG always are not active. I must do: vgchange -a y test then I can mount it. Any reason for this? Perhaps because I have the lvm mod v1.0.1 in kernel 2.4.18, and am using the 1.0.4 tools? Thanks, j. -- ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach .. Current PGP/GPG Key ID: 43AD2024
