Hi folks, I found out the trick.
On /etc/lvm/lvm.conf the line; filter = [ "a/.*/" ] should be replaced with; filter = [ "a|/dev/hda4]|", "r/.*/" ] (in my case) Previously I made the line as; filter = [ "a|/dev/hda]|", "r/.*/" ] Now # vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found # vgchange -a y No volume groups found I don't know whether this is a mistake. Because according to; Gentoo LVM2 installation http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml It should be no printout. Tks B.R.
