I am having a similar problem with a single ide disk, redhat 7.3 installation (kernel 2.4.18-4 upgrade applied) using one PV. sysinit.rc does not call vgscan. Further, running "vgchange -a y" gives syntax error. Running "vgchange -ay" produces desired result. I am not sure if this is a bug or a documentation error. The basic problem is described in bug 57563, the default ramdisk images are not built with the lvm-mod loaded. This means that /proc/lvm does not exist when the rc.sysinit script runs and the lvm conditional tests fail in consequence. The choices are to create a new ramdisk image using mkinitrd and applying the option --preload=lvm-mod; or modify rc.sysinit to just run vgchange -ay without a conditional test, this will load the lvm module; or modify the conditional code in rc.sysinit to remove references to /proc/lvm. This seems to make the most sense since /proc/lvm shouldn't exist until after the lvm-mod is loaded. It seems pointless to test for a condition that can't be met until the dependent action occurs. refer to 57563 for further information. Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. If this persists on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4, please open a new bug. |
