I'm about to start using LVM. I setup a secondary partition with fdisk, created a physical volume with pvcreate, made a group volume with vgcreate (out of only that physical volume), created several logical volumes with lvcreate, and installed filesystems on the logical volumes. One volume is swap, and /proc/meminfo says it is active. Other volumes I can mount and write onto. So, what's the problem? The problem is that vgdisplay, vgscan, vgchange, pvdisplay, lvdisplay all say there are no volumes to be found! What did I miss?
One other thing i don't understand is what to do regarding init scripts. (The kernel gentoo-sources 2.6.18-r2 has build-in support for "Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM)" and "Device mapper support". ) TIA. -- Jorge Almeida -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
