On this disk i have created one single pv (on /dev/sda, no partitioning) I have put this pv into a vg, and in this volume group i have created = one lv. All seems to be working fine until the time comes when my computer = restarts. On a boot somehow the lvm system forgets the pv on de firewire harddisk = and only shows (on a pvscan for example) the pv/vg/lv's on my normal = harddisks (/dev/hda and /dev/hdb). By the time the lvm system starts up i'm sure = the ieee1394 system is up and running (i modified my rc.sysinit file so the ieee1394 system is startup before lvm). Even when i am logged in as a user the lvm system still doesn't know the = pv on my firewire harddisk. But after I do a 'pvdisplay /dev/sda' the pv is shown correctly and now the lvm system knows about the pv (it shows up = in pvscan and the vg/lv become available etc.). Does anyone know why my = system behaves as it does (btw i'm using a redhat 9.0 clean install), is this = some kind of bug in the lvm system, am i doing something wrong, please help. Thanks, Herman
