I went through the yast panels and added the unit "113e"; created the volume group usrdata; added the physical volume (/dev/dasdd1) to the volume group usrdata; and added the logical volume /dev/usrdata/srv.
Output from "pvscan," "vgscan," and "lvscan" shows: > techlnux:~ # pvscan > PV /dev/dasdd1 VG usrdata lvm2 [2.29 GB / 1.80 GB free] > PV /dev/dasdc1 VG system lvm2 [2.29 GB / 0 free] > PV /dev/dasda1 VG system lvm2 [2.29 GB / 68.00 MB free] > Total: 3 [6.87 GB] / in use: 3 [6.87 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] > techlnux:~ # vgscan > Reading all physical volumes.

What should be my next step? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Post [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 6:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: LVM question Ok, this looks like a difference between LVM and the LVM2 that comes with 2.6. I guess "vgdisplay" and "ls -l /dev/usrdata" might tell us something.
