Tim are you running the mkinird and the zipl after defining the LVM? You didn't say what version of linux you are using. John Hello all, I've been fighting an LVM problem and searching through the archives and I stumbled on this from Mark Post from a while back: Re: /tmp as a logical volume Post, Mark K Tue, 21 Jun 2005 21:35:24 -0700 >I'm beginning to have doubts about LVM (version 1 at least) on 64-bit >systems.

This describes my troubles exactly, I create some LVM volume groups (and logical volumes), but they don't survive through an IPL. What I haven't been able to find is any resolution of this problem. What makes it worse, is that I've done it successfully with other volume groups. Mark (or anybody else that shares my woes), have you found any more information about this?
