(Obviously there are more lines.) My only other thoughts are to grep dmesg for "VolGroup" or "LVM" (not much about them in my logs, probably because it is working), and to look at the commands at the end of "man lvm", such as lvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvmdiskscan, lvscan, pvscan, vgscan, and vgck. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
