Hi,

Where exactly is the LV information passed to the kernel? is it 
"LV_CREATE"?

The kernel seems to don't know the LV, the LV_STATUS_BYINDEX on the 
"/dev/fast/group" returns "No such device or address" (ENXIO) for each 
index, including 0, which should be the LV in question.

It looks as "lvm_do_lv_status_byindex" in the kernel returns -ENXIO 
because vg_ptr->lv[lv_status_byindex_req.lv_index] is zero. Where is the 
point where this array is written? I only found LV_CREATE, but that's 
only called in vgimport, vgmerge and lvcreate, so it looks as there is 
another place.


Can you point me in the direction?


Felix
