IMHO this might be an inconsistency between devfs and your current device files (probably non devfs based?). When devfs is compiled in the kernel /proc/partitions returns the devfs names. To save scanning all block device files in /dev, lvm tries to make use of /proc/partitions in vgscan. > Anyway, I made a link from /dev/md0 to /dev/mda and pvcreate works. > However, doing > a vgscan segfaults.
