[linux-lvm] LVM2 not function

Hi Leo Li,

Please run "vgscan -ay" as this command will activate
all the VGs and hence the LVs in your system.

Also, check if this command is present in your
/etc/rc.sysinit boot script, so that your VGs and LVs
are available for auto mount after reboot.

Regards,
Neerav

  Hi,

   

  I used LVM come with Redhat9 on my desktop computer.  Recent days I want to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.0-test11 which needs LVM2 to work with the device-mapper.  To be more up to date, I also recreated the lvs to use lvm2 metadata.  But when I rebooted the computer, new created lv can't mount.  It said it's not a valid block device.  So I check the status with "lvm lvscan", it showed that these lv turned to be inactive.  So I removed and recreated these lv.  Right after creation, these lvs were ACTIVE and mountable, but after reboot, they became inactive and unusable again.  Does anyone have clue?
