Hello, I am experiencing problems while doing a vgscan, attached I have included a debug trace for details. In short this is what I get : vgscan -- ERROR "parameter error" with special file /dev/vg01/usr vgscan -- ERROR "parameter error" creating volume group directory and special files vgscan -- ERROR "parameter error" creating "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" and I am not able to activate my vg's :-((((. My config is: 2 disk, complete pv's 1 disk, with 9 linux and dos partitions and 2 pv partitions. 3 volume groups vg00 complete disk 1 vg02 complete disk 2 vg01 with the two partitions from the remaining disk vg00 has one logical volume(home) vg01 has two logical volume's(usr and tmp) vg02 has one logical volume(lv00) When I change the partition ID;s from the pv partitions in vg01, from 8e to 83, (making then invisible to LVM) vgscan completes normal. During the creation of vg01 I renamed one of the lv's but other than that I did nothing special to it. During the creation of vg01 I was able to access the lv but as soon as I rebooted the problems began. The kernel I am using it 2.3.99.pre2 but found the same problem when using 2.3.49. If I need to provide more info i'll be more than happy to. regards, Jorg de Jong.
