[linux-lvm] vgcreate bug?

[NagyZ]

so..
i did:
(with 1.0.6 tools)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/testlvmimage bs=1024k count=300
losetup /dev/loop0 /testlvmimage
pvcreate /dev/loop
vgcreate test /dev/loop0
lvcreate -l 8 -n testlv test
mkfs.ext3 /dev/test/testlv

then copy some files..

vgchange -an
and (with lvm2 tools):
vgconvert -M2 test

then:
debian:~# mount /dev/test/testlv /teszt
mount: /dev/test/testlv is not a valid block device

so..
any idea? :)

check http://tom.tdc.hu/~nagyz/lvm

thnx!

Missing vgchange -ay (with LVM2 tools) here?

[It's possible the problem is with LVM1 volume group links in /dev left behind 
by LVM1; if so, just remove them before the LVM2 vgchange -ay; this is 
libdevmapper being ultra-cautious; will get changed soon.]
