lvm in SuSE 7.3
Hello.
I just wondered what LVM in Yast2 means and opened it... but i didn't want to create a LV on my System, so i closed the program without creating a Logical Volume. If i restart my system, LVM reports no volume group was found and starts vgchange. How can i remove this problem?
Greetings
Ralf Kahrl

rm -fR /etc/lvmtab.d/
should do the trick for you.

It's not really a "problem", but if the SUSE kernel loads everything modularly, then you could check your modules.conf file and see if it's loading LVM. If so get rid of that line.

No that has nothing to do with modules. Look at this line from /etc/init.d/boot (this is from SuSE 7.1 but should apply 1:1 to 7.3) #
# Find and activate volume groups (HM 1/1/1999)
#
if test -d /etc/lvmtab.d/ -a -x /sbin/vgscan -a -x /sbin/vgchange ; then
echo "Run file system check on root for LVM activation" while read des fs type rest; do
case "$fs" in
So if he get's rid of the /etc/lvmtab.d/, created by the lvm tools then the system will not try to activate LVM on boot.
