[linux-lvm] vgscan cant find my vg

[Andreas Baier]

Hi Rene,

I had such a situation some time ago, too.
I had 2 scsi disks and a scsi-only kernel, with ide just as a loadable 
module. I added an ide disk to the running vg and all was ok until I 
rebooted. When booting up, my system lacked the ide-module so the hole 
vg was not recognized by the kernel.
Then I had two possibilities: compiling a new kernel with the ide-disk 
compiled into, or building a new initrd with the ide-module. Now the 
system is up perfectly well.
