Package: lvm2 Version: 2.03.11-2.1 root@recovery:~# lvcreate --config 'local/extra_system_id=["hub"]' -L 1G -n test -Z y hub-early-b Configuration setting "local/extra_system_id" unknown. Cannot access VG hub-early-b with system ID hub with local system ID recovery. root@recovery:~#
This is almost identical to the example from the lvmsystemid(7) manpage, under "Overriding system ID". I also tried the "lvmlocal.conf" setting exhibited there, and that didn't work either. I was able to work around the problem by setting "system_id_source" in lvm.conf and setting and the system's hostname with hostname(8): root@recovery:~# cat /etc/lvm/lvm.conf global { system_id_source = "uname" } root@recovery:~# Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
