I put all my logical volumes in /etc/fstab but it doesnt work automatically.

Everytime i restart my machine i have to manually activate my volume group by typing vgchange -a y archive.

Is there a way of automatically doing this with lvm or would i have to write an init script ?

Thanks

Please put a "vgscan ; vgchange -a y" in a system startup file like /sbin/init.d/boot on SuSE or an equivalent one on another distribution.

Please see the file INSTALL which comes with the LVM sources also.

Heinz

You have to write an initscript - that's just the way it is.

I just put the vgchange command in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit just before the RAID part.

.......
# Load modules (for backward compatibility with VARs) if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.modules ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules
fi

# LVM
/sbin/vgscan
/sbin/vgchange -a y

# Add raid devices
if [ -f /proc/mdstat -a -f /etc/raidtab ]; then
echo -n "Starting up RAID devices: "

.......

I dont use vgscan, because I don't boot neither with intrd nor with devfs, so for me vgscan would be just waisting time during boot.
