RE: [linux-lvm] Bonehead problem

Yes... indeed, creating the device file solved the problem.

Now, I ran vgscan and it hanged the system :-(
Here's what I found in the syslog:

I had a look in major.h and 22, 33, 34 corresponds to IDE1_MAJOR, IDE2_MAJOR
and IDE3_MAJOR ?

Any idea.

To summarize, this is a new install (no VG created) of Linux 2.2.2 (without
devfs) + LVM 0.6.
I have MD compiled in the kernel ... but no MD device created.

Thanks.
