return from lvm2 to lvm
Hello,
I was using lvm on a 2.4 kernel (gentoo) and it works perfectly.
I install kernel-2.6 and lvm2 : works perfectly.
I want to return to kernel-2.4 and as the patch for device-mapper is not include in the kernel core, cannot mount the lvm disk. it search for device-mapper (modprobe) and not for lvm-mod
I unmerge lvm2 and device-mapper...still the same.
Is there a way to return to use lvm-mod under kernel-2.4.22 ???
(I want to return because vmware-workstation doesn't work under kernel-2.6)
Thank you
Guy

I'd ask on a gentoo mailing list, it looks like a distro specific problem.

Try doing a vgchange -a n, vgchange -a y to re-create the device nodes before you mount the LV. I went back from lvm2 to lvm1 and now I have to do this every restart. mkvgnodes does not help, BTW.
