On Feb 2 David A. Bandel was heard saying:
<snip>
->> The library liblvm.so and the lvm module are missing from the lvm rpm
->> package, so does that mean it isn't supported in the RH's 7.2 kernel or
->> am I overlooking something?

->> In case it's not supported why does the install create /dev/lvm and

->
->modprobe lvm-mod
*** Ah yes, that was exactly the reason why I decided to share this with
the list. Modprobe gives obviously
modprobe: Can't locate module lvm-mod
because it doesn't exist. See above.
->Then you have a short sequence of ??create (pvcreate, lvcreate, vgcreate)
->sequences to stumble through. Then you need to run vgchange. Finally,
->you should be able to mount your vg. Notes: if you're going to stripe
*** Well, that's what I thought too but when vgscan gave me
vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?
I started looking a bit deeper and came to the conclusion that the rpm
package kernel doesn't provide this. It's in the kernel but you still have
to recompile it!?
Since the issue is to install this by only using the stuff you get from
Red Hat I havent't tried to patch or recompile anything.
What puzzles me is that even upgrading the kernel from a rpm package
doesn't change this. The module is not in the 2.4.2-2, 2.4.7-10 or
2.4.9-21...
What are you using, SuSE?
Cheers,
Zoran.
