OK I've been looking around - and it seems that the latest devfs doesn't
have /dev/sd/* - instead we have lots of weird things, like
/dev/discs/disc0/* /dev/discs/disc1/* etc ... I've fixed my vgscan but
adding
static char *devdir[] = {
"/dev/ida",
"/dev/ide/hd",
"/dev/loop",
"/dev/md",
"/dev/rd",
"/dev/sd",
+ "/dev/discs/disc0",
+ "/dev/discs/disc1",
+ "/dev/discs/disc2",
+ "/dev/discs/disc3",
+ "/dev/discs/disc4",
"/dev",
NULL
to lvm_dir_cache.c and similar to pv_check_name.c.
It works for me but hopefully devfs will settle down and not keep changing
soon...
Thanks,
james
