Hello all,

I've compiled lvm-1.0.3 using stow.
But a lib is missed

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/lvm
make
make install

cd /usr/local/stow
stow -vv lvm

When I want to start with lvm, here is my problem :
pvcreate /dev/sdb
pvcreate: error in loading shared libraries: liblvm-10.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't really understand, liblvm is in /usr/local/lib as a link pointing to /usr/local/stow/lvm/lib .

Is it impossible to compile lvm and use stow ?

I'm sorry, maybe it's a newbie question.

Thanks

Pierrick

Is /usr/local/lib in your Library Path? Add this path to /etc/ld.so.conf, run ldconfig and retry it.

If you already did so, sorry for my question :)

I had seen that linking liblvm-10.so.1 in /lib with /usr/local/stow/lvm/lib/liblvm-10.so.1 permitted to start pvcreate .

I did what you wrote and it works perfectly. I'm sorry for this stupid question .

You're the boss.

Thanks a lot.

Er, you might find that it is a good idea to put your LVM shared library in /lib.

Otherwise you might have difficulting starting up the system if /usr or /usr/local is on an LVM volume.

right. this also goes for vgscan and vgchange. now, site-specific software around where I work gets tossed to /site. which of course is either a partition or a volume. either way, doing:

[root@host /sbin]# ln -s /site/sbin/vgchange && ln -s /site/sbin/vgscan

isn't as bright as one first thinks.

of course, when testing for volumegroups only / has been mounted, in case any other mountpoints are logical volumes. *sigh*

Terje - who builds most utils statically these days.  less fuzz.  :p

I set up:

/opt/lvm-1.0.1 in the (small) root FS
/usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1 in the /usr filesystem (on LVM)

I put the LVM tools at /opt/lvm-1.0.1/sbin, and symlinked them from /sbin.

I put the manpages in /usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1/man, and symlinked them from /usr/local/man.

I put the runtime/shared-object (.so) library directly in /lib.

I put the development/static (.a) library in /usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1/lib, and symlinked it from /usr/local/lib.

After all this, I wondered how difficult it would be to make a Debian/Potato package out of it.

[linux-lvm] Problems mounting LVM volume as root

Hi All,

I have gotten LVM to work on my linux 2.4.17 kernel system. I am having a problem mounting my LVM volume as root. I followed all the instructions in the LVM howto that explains how to add an LVM root. I successfully created a root LVM volume formated it and copied the original root to the volume. I then ran the lvmcreate_initrd script. It created the .gz initrd file in the /boot directory. Made all the appropriate changes to lilo.conf and ran /sbin/lilo. My problem is when the kernel comes up insmod says it can't fine /lib/modules/2.4.17lvm/net/unix.o module. I think it's because the root file system isn't being mounted at that point but I am not sure. Does anyone have any ideas. I am running the 2.4.17 kernel with LVM support and the new LVM version 1.0.3. Are there any know problems with this configuration? Thanks.
