LVM2 doesn't see my multipathed devices as PV, what's up ? By default, lvm2 does not consider device-mapper block devices (such as a dm-crypt device) for use as physical volumes. In order to use a dm-crypt device as an lvm2 pv, add this line to the devices block in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf: types = [ "device-mapper", 16 ] If /etc/lvm/lvm.conf does not exist, you can create one based on your current/default config like so: lvm dumpconfig > /etc/lvm/lvm.conf (tip from Christophe Saout) --- ... then again, "you need to exclude the paths from the scaning" regards, cvaroqui shahid shaikh wrote: >Hello, > >I seen FAQ.
