I know the XFS filesystem is not *officially* supported but the special devices for the VG should still be created. Note: same thing with LVM and ReiserFS (instead of XFS). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. LVM with XFS formatted (or ReiserFS) formatted partitions 2. 3. Actual Results: Special devices for LVM /dev/vg01/ not created Expected Results: Special devices for LVM should be created. Additional info:
But it works with ext3? I can't think of any fs specific code here and was doing lvm installs without any trouble on Friday...
I'm going to try with ext3 and see if I get the same pbm as I had with ReiserFs and XFS.
Ok just tried with ext3 (booting by just hitting enter). It installs fine as with ReiserFS and Xfs then upon reboot I get: fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/vg01/usrlv /dev/vg01/usrlv: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> Same thing Repeated for: /dev/vg01/homelv /dev/vg01/optlv /dev/vg01/varlv /dev/vg01/tmplv /dev/vg01/vmwarelv I then have the option to enter my root password to get into the maintenance mode. OK entered the maintenance mode. Tried to list ls -la /dev/vg* and nothing... So I now have a situation where I cannot use LVM neither with xfs, reiserfs nor with ext3...

More details and possible resolution in bug 119975. Maybe close as duplicate.
Also-- We found the initial /dev/mapper mknod script not in lvm2 rpm, also these files do not get created with a lvm2 install. We did a "linux rescue" from cd and copied these files over, now the system boots up.
