The operation `lvm pvscan' and `lvm vgscan' are very slow, taking about 20-30 min. Is this normal, or is this because there is no /etc/lvm.conf file? Here are the system settings: device-mapper-1.00.07-2 kernel-smp-2.6.1-1.65 lvm-1.0.3-17 lvm2-2.00.08-2 mkinitrd-3.5.19-1 Root partitions on a SCSI disk, no LVM. Some data partitions on an 80G IDE disk, with LVM2: 1 PV 1 VG 3 LVs. --Ling
