When I reboot/boot the server, the LVM remain inactive, and leave me in maintenance mode (Ctr +D). In maintenance mode the lvscan show that LVM partions inactive. I can make it active manually by "vgchange -a y" and able to mount it on mount points. But in next boot it still remain inactive. ( Server has one more Internal SCSI hardrive of which LVM partitions remain active. ) Please reply Live environment solution for that. Regards, Digambar Warke.
