I have some strange behaviour i am encountering on a newly installed machine. $> lvm version LVM version: 2.00.08 (2003-11-14) Library version: 1.00.17-ioctl (2004-04-19) Driver version: 4.3.0 $> The machine is newly installed with Gentoo linux 2004.3, latest version. I installed according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/index.php?title=HOWTO_Gentoo_Install_on_Software_RAID_mirror_and_LVM2_on_top_of_RAID and seems to work fine. The RAID-1 partitions work perfectly but the LVM volumes behave weird. When i reboot the machine using `shutdown -r' the volumes do not come online because during boot the vgscan fails with a segfault. I have to manually do a vgscan and reboot again, then things work ok. Same things happen when i reboot now: vgscan segfaults, manual vgscan, reboot --> all ok. What could be the problem? Thanks, Fred
