I have my system configured with Redhat 7.3 with 2 80GB hard drives. I made a volume group using /dev/hdc and /dev/hda9. Everything worked fine, I copied data in there, put in the 'vgscan' and 'vgchange -a y' in the startup script and put 'vgchange -a n' into the shutdown script. However, when I reboot my machine, the data is lost :( I do a 'locate' on a file I know is in there and it finds it. However when I do a 'ls' in the directory, nothing shows up.
Looks like a file system problem that has nothing to do with LVM. What file system are you using? What does fsck -f do on the logical volume?
