[linux-lvm] lvcreate, vgscan problem!

[Prashant Kharche]

Hi! 
    I have LVM 1.0.4.rc4 package and linux kernel
2.4.17. Following commands are giving me errors :

vgscan - > gives error message as 
" Invalidate :Busy Buffer ..."
pvcreate, vgcreate commands are working properly.. and
also manages to create to volume groups.. 
my sequence of commands is -
1.vgscan 
2.pvcreate
3.vgcreate
4.lvcreate : gives me error ..

What should i do to avoid this error ??

Also, I have compiled the kernel 2.4.17 and loaded the
LVM module.. and installed the LVM package 1.0.4rc4..

Everytime i have to load the module "lvm-mod.o"
manually.. how do i add it to startup script.. ??

PLEASE REPLY ASAP,

Ignore that.

Would be helpful to tell what error you get. Please paste the error
message.

Read "INSTALL". Especially the part about /etc/modules.conf

If it's a segfault and you're using RedHat then edit make.tmpl and change
-O2 to -O0 or ... better still... download the released 1.0.1 which already 
has this change in it.
