There is no LVM2 module. > I think following warning is a major problem; > device-mapper : dm-linear : Device lookup failed > device-mapper : error adding target to table From the EVMS FAQ: "Q. I'm running on a 2.6 kernel and some or all of my volumes fail to get activated. The volumes don't show up in the /dev/evms/ directory and I get the following errors in my kernel log: device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: error adding target to table A. You probably need to apply the bd-claim patch to your kernel. See http://evms.sf.net/install/kernel.html#bdclaim for more details about this patch and other possible options." The problem is that beginning with kernel 2.6 it is no longer allowed to talk to devices via different paths (i.e. /dev/hda1 and /dev/evms/hda1). So evms_activate (or: the device-mapper) will have problems creating a mapping when the device is allready used via a different path. However, from the other mails in this thread, I don't see where this is happening. Are you using both lvm2 tools _and_ EVMS? Then it is clear that the latter will fail. Bye...
