Cannot create a Volume Group
Hi,
I have the following problem:
sol:~# pvcreate /dev/hda1 /dev/hda4 /dev/hdb1 Physical volume "/dev/hda1" successfully created Physical volume "/dev/hda4" successfully created Physical volume "/dev/hdb1" successfully created sol:~# vgcreate vg1 /dev/hda1 /dev/hda4 /dev/hdb1 Volume group "vg1" successfully created
Everything seems to be create properly, however when now I'm trying to activate the volume group or to scan it, it says it cannot found it:
sol:~# vgchange -a y vg1 Unable to find volume group "vg1" sol:~# vgscan No volume groups found
What's wrong here ?? Do I missing something ??
The versions I have are:
lvm-common 1.5.17
lvm2 2.00.29-1
libdevmapper1. 1.00.19-4
Thanks for any reply.
Regards.

Firstly, there's a bug in pvcreate 2.00.29 (it'll sometimes fail with an error message when it shouldn't) - upgrade to .31.
Use -vvv options to see what's going on and why it ignores things. e.g. pvscan --partial -vvv

Well, I don't think is the version. I've just upgrade to 2.00.29 before writing to the list and with the version I had before it happened the same.

After doing the pvcreate /dev/hda1 /dev/hda4 /dev/hdb1, pvscan --partial
-vvv lists me all the devices y /dev and at the end says:
PV /dev/hda1 lvm2 [7,96 GB] PV /dev/hda4 lvm2 [15,48 GB] PV /dev/hdb1 lvm2 [3,00 GB]
Total: 3 [26,44 GB] / in use: 0 [0 ] / in no VG: 3 [26,44 GB]
After doing the vgcreate /dev/vg1 /dev/hda1 /dev/hda4 /dev/hdb1,
vgscan --partial -vvv lists me all the devices y /dev and at the end
says: No volume groups found
The device /dev/vg1 is not created although vgcreate says Volume group "vg1" successfully created.

Hi again,
I solved my problem. The issue was that I had not applied the device mapper patch to my kernel. I did it and every thing worked right.
Best regards,
Fernando.
