Hi All,

Last day I tried out these new versions but the new lvm2 release gave me
some issues. I was thinking that it was a my compilation mistake but
today I updated my fedora rawhide and the latest version of lvm2
(2.02.04) was installed and I had the same problems.
Here's the list of actions I did to create the pv, vg and lv and some
tries to activate them:

==============================================================================
[root at localhost ~]# pvcreate /dev/hda10
  Physical volume "/dev/hda10" successfully created

[root at localhost ~]# vgcreate vg_test01 /dev/hda10
  Volume group "vg_test01" successfully created

[root at localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 500m -n lv_test01 vg_test01
  Volume group for uuid not found:

  Failed to activate new LV.

The volume and also the volume group cannot be activated or removed.

Going back to a previous version of lvm (a CVS snapshot previous to the
cache changes) everything worked again.

Let me know if this is a my mistake or how can help you debugging the
problem.

Thanks!

Bye!
