Hello Heinz and fellow list members,
Earlier today, I posted with a problem with my PV's not being seen
following a system crash. I've found the cause, but not a permanent
fix. It looks like a bug to me. The system had a cd in its ide cdrom
drive, but the cd was not mounted. When I removed the cd, I was able to
pvscan, vgscan, and restore my previous vg configuration. No data loss;
I'm very happy. But, I'm left wondering why/how an unmounted cd could
cause LVM to fail to start. Should I report this as a bug to LVM?
3ware? ide-scsi kernel module? Any suggestions appreciated.
