pvcreate on a dmraid device
Hi,
I'm new to this list, but not to Linux and LVM.
I'm trying to setup a new Linux-server with an on board RAID-controller (Promise PDC20265 FastTrak100 Lite/Ultra100). Now everything goes well until I try to do a pvcreate on one of the raid-partitions, this is the output I get:
# pvcreate /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4 Device /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4 not found.
But the device-file is there (along with the other partitions).
# ll /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf* brw------- 1 root root 253, 7 Nov 4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf brw------- 1 root root 253, 8 Nov 4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf1 brw------- 1 root root 253, 9 Nov 4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf2 brw------- 1 root root 253, 10 Nov 4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf3 brw------- 1 root root 253, 11 Nov 4 18:22 /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4
and dmraid shows the raidgroup OK:
# dmraid -s *** Active Set name : pdc_edcfibbf size : 160086465 stride : 128 type : mirror status : ok subsets: 0 devs : 2 spares : 0
Any suggestions on how I can solve this issue and move on with my installation.
Regards,

# pvcreate /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4 Device /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4 not found.
Look for (commented out) types line in lvm.conf
and enable it saying:
types = [ "device-mapper", 1 ]
(This will happen by default in the next release.)

Dan,
change your lvm2 "devices" configuration in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to include:
types = [ "device-mapper", 254 ]
