Logical Volume Manager Problems
Two things: One of which I may be able to find in the manual if I had the
time to hunt for it
1. I have a group set up with one logical volume I use all the time. I chose
to use the LVM because the hard disk was having a few problems with bad
blocks. But the SCSI manager could not reassign them properly. They just
stayed there. The LVM has bad block reassignment built in.
Whenever I reboot the machine the volume group becomes deactivated so the
fsck cannot be done and the volume does not get mounted.
I assume I need to add vgchange -a y /dev/vg1 to one of the startup scripts,
but which one?
2. In messing aroung with LVM I ended up with a volume group defined in the
kernel, but no entry in the lvmtab file. Thus I cannot delete the kernel
entry inorder to use the group for something else.
All responses gratefully received.
Alban.
