I have read all the documentation in the LVM-package and your homepage, but i can't find a sollution to my problem in the HOW-TOs. I run kernel 2.4.13 with Slackware 8.0. I tried to patch the rc.S with the patch i found on your homepage but it looks like the patch is allready applied in the distribution. I have loaded LVM as a module in the boot. Everything runs perfectly until i try to activate my volume group "vg01". When i run : vgchange -v -d -a y i get the following output, but I don't really know what the problem is. Any help is aprichiated. And thank you for making great software. mvh Frode Ulsund ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <333> vg_check_name -- vg_name: "vg01" <4444> lvm_check_chars -- CALLED with name: "vg01" <4444> lvm_check_chars -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <333> vg_check_name -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <22> vg_check_consistency -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <1> vg_create_remove -- IOCTL <1> vg_create_remove -- IOCTL returned: -22 <1> vg_create_remove -- LEAVING with ret: -22 <> vgchange -- vg_create returned: -22 <1> lvm_error -- CALLED with: -22 <1> lvm_error -- LEAVING with: "Invalid argument" vgchange -- ERROR "Invalid argument" activating volume group "vg01" <1> vg_free -- CALLED <1> vg_free -- entering PV loop <1> vg_free -- entering LV loop <1> vg_free -- LEAVING with ret: 0 vgchange -- unlocking logical volume manager <1> lvm_unlock -- CALLED <1> lvm_unlock -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <1> lvm_unlock -- CALLED <1> lvm_unlock -- LEAVING with ret: -104
