[linux-lvm] To compile

[Pierrick PONS]

Hello all,

I've compiled lvm-1.0.3 using stow.
But a lib is missed

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/lvm
make
make install


cd /usr/local/stow
stow -vv lvm



When I want to start with lvm, here is my problem :
pvcreate /dev/sdb
pvcreate: error in loading shared libraries: liblvm-10.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't really understand, liblvm is in /usr/local/lib as a link pointing to 
/usr/local/stow/lvm/lib .

Is it impossible to compile lvm and use stow ?

I'm sorry, maybe it's a newbie question.


Thanks


Pierrick

Is /usr/local/lib in your Library Path? Add this path to
/etc/ld.so.conf, run ldconfig and retry it.

If you already did so, sorry for my question :)

I had seen that linking liblvm-10.so.1 in /lib with 
/usr/local/stow/lvm/lib/liblvm-10.so.1 permitted to start pvcreate .

I did what you wrote and it works perfectly. I'm sorry for this stupid 
question .

You're the boss.

Thanks a lot.

Er, you might find that it is a good idea to put your LVM shared library in /lib.

Otherwise you might have difficulting starting up the system if /usr or /usr/local is on an LVM volume.

  right.  this also goes for vgscan and vgchange.  now, site-specific
  software around where I work gets tossed to /site.  which of course
  is either a partition or a volume.  either way, doing:

[root@host /sbin]# ln -s /site/sbin/vgchange && ln -s /site/sbin/vgscan

  isn't as bright as one first thinks.  

  of course, when testing for volumegroups only / has been mounted, in
  case any other mountpoints are logical volumes.  *sigh*

I set up:

   /opt/lvm-1.0.1             in the (small) root FS
   /usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1   in the /usr filesystem (on LVM)

I put the LVM tools at /opt/lvm-1.0.1/sbin, and symlinked them from /sbin.

I put the manpages in /usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1/man, and symlinked them
from /usr/local/man.

I put the runtime/shared-object (.so) library directly in /lib.

I put the development/static (.a) library in
/usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1/lib, and symlinked it from /usr/local/lib.

After all this, I wondered how difficult it would be to make a
Debian/Potato package out of it.

[linux-lvm] Problems mounting LVM volume as root

[Felix Rodriguez]

Hi All,


I have gotten LVM to work on my linux 2.4.17 kernel system. I am having a 
problem mounting my LVM volume as root. I followed all the instructions in 
the LVM howto that explains how to add an LVM root. I successfully created 
a root LVM volume formated it and copied the original root to the volume. I 
then ran the lvmcreate_initrd script. It created the .gz initrd file in the 
/boot directory. Made all the appropriate changes to lilo.conf and ran 
/sbin/lilo. My problem is when the kernel comes up insmod says it can't 
fine /lib/modules/2.4.17lvm/net/unix.o module. I think it's because the 
root file system isn't being mounted at that point but I am not sure. Does 
anyone have any ideas. I am running the 2.4.17 kernel with LVM support and 
the new LVM version 1.0.3. Are there any know problems with this 
configuration? Thanks.
