The LVM FAQ mentions that you should have a /proc/lvm but my default RHEL3 and 4 systems do not have this directory in /proc and doing a Modprobe for lvm-mod does not create one. On an RHEL4 test system I do see an lvm tool but it doesn't show the status. Is there a page for the redhat archives? Don From the LVM FAQ: "If your kernel was compiled with the /proc file system (most are) then you can verify that LVM is present by looking for a /proc/lvm directory. If this doesn't exist then you may have to load the module with the command # modprobe lvm-mod <snip> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I'm not *sure* about this, but I believe that /proc/lvm was only used for LVM 1.0, while device-mapper doesn't have such a thing. RHEL3 is based on a 2.6 kernel, right? How about the userspace tools instead? Try pvdisplay, vgdisplay or lvdisplay, depending on what info you want. Or is there some other info that you're hunting for?
