Hi Richard, On 8/29/06, Stephen Liu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: /dev/hda4: No label detected Did you do pvcreate /dev/hda4? At that time, NO. Later I did, having completed vgcreate, lvcreated, mkdir, mounting, etc. All went through w/o problem. Problem came after chroot. I'll post another topic. Tks. B.R.

Re: [gentoo-user] Partitioning and LVM problem (partially solved)
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.

Hi Richard,

Can you post the output of 'grep -v -e ^ *# -e ^ *$
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf'.
