[linux-lvm] lvcreate: no such device or address

[linux-lvm] lvcreate: no such device or address

[Anthony Johnson]

# lvcreate -d -l1 -n testlv1 uservg
...
<1> lv_create_node -- LEAVING with ret: 0
<1> lvm_error -- CALLED with: 6
<1> lvm_error -- LEAVING with: "No such device or address"
lvcreate -- ERROR "No such device or address" opening "/dev/uservg/testlv1"

After running this command, the node /dev/uservg/testlv1 was created in the 
directory but vgdisplay -v still shows there are no LVs in uservg. Tried 
this on different VGs, using different PE sizes, lvnames, etc with same results.

I have 1.0.1-rc2 and recompiled without the optimizer since I was also getting the core dumps from lvcreate previously.

Sorry to repeat, but I've had no response and am dead in the water. Anyone 
had a similar problem or have advice on how to reolve this?

Anthony,

with which Linux+LVM version does this happen (recent one from www.sistina.com
is recommended)?
Did you patch your kernel with LVM as discribed in INSTALL and PATCHES/README
in the LVM source distribution?
Does it happen with or without devfs?
