What do I need to do to get it to recognize my volume group so I can
rename it?
Sorry, poorly formed question. Let me try again.
I'm trying to rename my volume group. I have one drive with a non-LVM
boot partition and then the rest of the drive is LVM'ed, I have another
drive on the box - single partition, entirely LVM'ed.
From all indications I should be able to boot up with the fc6 rescue
cd, do a vgrename, change the /etc/fstab and grub.conf to reflect the
new name and life is good.
So I booted up with the rescues cd, did not enable the network, skipped
the search for fedora installations, and ended up with a command prompt.
At this point I should just be able to do a
- lvm vgscan
- lvm vgrename
I can't get past vgscan, it doesn't find any volume groups. If I try
vgrename --test oldname newname it fails because it still can't find any
volume groups.
ls /dev shows nothing volume group related. vgscan --mknodes, and
vgmknodes both do nothing.
This has to be something stupid I'm not doing but I am at a loss. Given
the VolGroup00 naming the fedora applies by default I can't imagine this
hasn't come up a lot yet none of the solutions I have found are
applicable. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
