[linux-lvm] Cannot create an lvm.

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

Glenn,

I guess you are not using devfs and your /dev/ nodes for the
LVM devices might be wrong.

Please run "vgmknodes;vgchange -ay" and retry to create your LV in VG "mass".

BTW: you should better try LVM2 (our new development code base) rather than
     LVM1.1, which has been an interim development version. In case you need
     to stick with version 1, please take the recent 1.0.5 production version.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
