I VM format my dasd devices, do linux dasdfmt's and fdasd's and everything looks fine. The pvcreate looks great as does the vgcreate. I then try to lvcreate through yast and get the following error. Return code of the output was 98, lvcreate -- error: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are not consistent: please run vgscan. I run vgscan and get the same thing. I think I did everything correctly. Can I view the VGDA in the kernel? cat /proc/lvm/global > Can I change it? Just by running the LVM tools. > Any ideas about what is going on??? LVM1 stores work copies of the VGDA (i.e. the metadata) in /etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtab.d/. Is that file and the directory write accessable and is there enough space (couple of MB is sufficient)? > > Than you very much!!! > > Confused in Eastern USA, Hopefully no longer ;) > > Rob > > Robert C Schwartz > Technical Services > Boscovs Department Stores LLC > 610-929-7387 > rschwartz@boscovs.com > > > > Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
