Hi,
I have the following problem: I have a VG which sits on two partitions.
This VG has been created with SuSE 7.2, that is version 1 of LVM. (I
don't know exactly which one.) I wish to extend that VG and I have tried
to do that from SuSE 9.2, which runs
LVM version: 2.00.25 (2004-09-29)
Library version: 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03)
Driver version: 4.1.0
The type of the partition is set to Linux LVM, like the others, but it
does not work. I get this error:
# pvcreate -vv /dev/hdg9
Setting global/locking_type to 1
Setting global/locking_dir to /var/lock/lvm
File-based locking enabled.
Locking /var/lock/lvm/P_orphans WB
Getting size of /dev/hdg9
metadata/pvmetadatasize not found in config: defaulting to 255
metadata/pvmetadatacopies not found in config: defaulting to 1
/dev/hdg9: Couldn't find device. Check your filters?
Unlocking /var/lock/lvm/P_orphans
I can't see that the filters are a problem. The entry in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf is:
filter = [ "r|/dev/.*/by-path/.*|", "r|/dev/.*/by-id/.*|", "a/.*/" ]
I understand now that I should use -M1 to add this PV to an old V1 VG,
but that is not the problem. I still get the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Gunther
