No, vgdisplay doesn't show nothing about "storage". I did, I had a partition, I did a pvcreate on it, then vgcreate. I then did a mkfs.reiserfs on it, and that's when I lost the pv.
But "storage" is still in /dev/storage/storage and /dev/mapper/storage-storage Thanks Daniel Regards; Daniel Pottumati IT Services Unit Economic and Financial Studies Division Macquarie Unversity >>> Shane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/24/06 5:24 PM >>> Does vgdisplay actually display a VG called 'storage'? Did you previously have a VG called 'storage' and remove it or something similar?
