There is nothing that you need to do to "migrate" your lvm2 partitions to a newer format, whatever problem that you have will be something local not generic as many people are successfully using the latest versions of both with no problems. You could start off running the vgscan in debug mode and letting us know the relevant output, and if that fails try running it with a strace or similar util to see precisely what is happening. Other pertinant questions are things like, are you using udev? with persistant devices (ie the tarball option in the rc.conf) what version of baselayout are you using, do you have devfs enabled? regards, -- Benjamin Smee (strerror) 497F 5E98 1FA0 C313 EA0B 08C7 004A 66ED 448B E78C
