You can find it in lvm-devel (or probably in this list as well). I posted it, and it relates to VG_CHANGE ioctl. > My kernel is stock 2.4.3. > My tools are stock 0.9.1-Beta6 If you use the current CVS code (soon to be 0.9.1b7) the problem is fixed there as well. Alternately, you can apply a kernel patch (see PATCHES/README) to fix the problem (and many other problems also).
