Hello folks,
I'm trying to install Gentoo with LVM2. I had to stop the installation at one point and reboot the pc. Later, I booted with LiveCD again and now I'm wondering how I am to get my volumes back...
I did the following (I definitely think that I'm doing something wrong here! I admit that I don't have enough knowledge about lvm yet and that I haven't read the complete LVM HOWTO yet.)
modprobe dm_mod pvscan <<< Found the volume vg pvchange -a y <<< Successfully enabled vg lvscan <<< It found all the volumes, ie, usr, home, opt, var and tmp lvchange - a y <<< I enabled all the volumes properly.
Now, when I do lvscan again, it tells me that all the volumes are ACTIVE and shows the path as /dev/vg/* and shows them as "inherit".
After all that, there is no /dev/vg
Help?
Thank you!

No problem ... I just did the same thing (installed 2005.0 w/ lvm2) ... Here's how I got it to work:
1) vgchange -a n (deactive all the volumes) 2) vgexport -a vg (export all the volumes) 3) vgimport -a vg (import all the volumes into the existing system) 4) vgchange -a y (reactive all the volumes)
This should do it for you...

Ah!
Somehow I forgot to see --help on the export command... hehehe. I'll give it a try. Thank you. :)
