Hello. About a bug in lvm2
I had many problems with LVM2 on gentoo with the 2.6 kernel as well. My solution was to first install the 2.6 kernel headers (linux26-headers), recompile gcc, glibc, and glib, then install the latest unstable versions of dev mapper and lvm tools (at that time it was device-mapper-1.00.17 and lvm2-2.00.15). After that it worked beautifully. As always YMMV.
(I should note that this was on a dual Opteron box, compiled in 64bit)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowedHey.
Im not sure but i may have found a bug in the lvm2 userspace-tools. Im using gentoo right now and right now
lvm2 cant "see" some harddrives.I first discovered the problem when i changed from 2.4 -> 2.6. In 2.6 it
didnt find all my discs. Later on i saw that when i did "pvcreate/dev/hdd1" (tried the devfs-link also/dev/ide/....) it reported that the device couldnt be found.
There isnt anything wrong with the hd or anything. It shows up in cfdisk/fdisk and i can use it as a normal hd (not in an lvm).This occurs for 2 of my disks. hde and hdd. I cant find any difference between them and the other drives. They are all the same size.
Unfortunently i cant provide any more information because i didnt think
about mailing this to you until after i went back to 2.4.Sincerely, Sebastian Hyrwall
