I have read some docs. I've spent hours combing the Net for the
answers, without success.
I *had* a working system. But, I use the LVM commands so rarely, I can
never repeat what I did (notes or not).
piano:/home/dcorbin# sh -x /etc/init.d/lvm start
+ modprobe lvm
+ modprobe lvm-mod
+ '[' -e /proc/lvm ']'
+ '[' -e /etc/lvmtab ']'
+ '[' -x /sbin/vgscan ']'
+ echo 'Setting up LVM Volume Groups...'
Setting up LVM Volume Groups...
+ /sbin/vgscan --verbose
+ /sbin/vgchange -a y --verbose
piano:/home/dcorbin# mount /data
mount: special device /dev/vg0/data does not exist
The reason you hear "panic" in my typing is the last line. :)

Fundamentally, I'm building a critical data file server. LVM has caused
me enough problems and delays, that I'm about ready to bypass it, saying
it is putting my data at risk. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
Thanks
David
