[linux-lvm] pvscan cant find my volume..

[Hjalmar Wåhlander]

As stated in a eariler message, I also tried this:

[root at mircosoft /mnt]# cp /etc/lvmconf/the_data.conf /etc/lvmtab.d/the_data
[root at mircosoft /mnt]# echo -ne "the_data\0" > /etc/lvmtab
[root at mircosoft /mnt]# vgchange -ay the_data
vgchange -- ERROR: physical volume "/dev/hdc" of volume group "the_data" is 
offline
vgchange -- run vgscan
