This is true, however, I now have (unlike at the point of my first attempt to set this up) a vg on the first drive that is working perfectly. I have seen no problems with it. The problems are only occurring on the second drive. Also, for the record, I have created a standard Linux partition via fdisk, made a reiserfs partition, and it is happily schlepping data without hint of error or problem.

The thing is that the drives are identical (and as I said, vg00 on /dev/hda is operating without error), so if I was seeing problems, it should stand to reason that I would see them on both drives. I am looking at the kernel trap that LVM has been generating. It is trapping on the vgchange process. I'm limping my way through it with help. -- --Brad ============================================================================ Bradley M.
