Did nothing?? Not even "..command not found"?
Weird!
Nope. The command is there. Actually, it is a link to something
else, lvm.scan or somesuch (presently no easy way to check). But even
directly launching the one the link points to does nothing except give
a new command line. It's almost as if the program exits so fast that
you miss it even if you *don't* blink.
Hmmm. In fc4, lvm is *not* a link. The other one is lvm.static (in fc4
and fc7).
Now, there was probably something else overlooked in Carl's
instructions.
When I boot Knoppix in order to poke around with my hard drive, I have
to run not only
vgscan
but
vgchange -ay
to "activate" the VG, before lvm will create its subdirectories in /dev.
This is an example of one of the commands given by "help" that are
*not* clearly the one you want. I tried a couple of others, but not
this one. Thanks.
Thus lvm knows which and where.., but the dev-dir-links-stuff doesn't
exist until VGs are activated.
Then you can do the e2fsck, etc
And I did, but then I hit another roadblock:
$ cat /log
(Please note, I had to type the following copy from the screen myself.)
(I don't know those tricks to copy the standard out to a file.)
(Please disregard minor errors.)

WTF?!
