LVM disk is offline after reboot

Lada · 08-07-2006, 05:26 AM

Hi,
I install new LVM disk into server. The name is /dev/vgstorage2/lvol0. I mount it to the system and change lvm.conf in section
activation {
volume_list = [ "vgstorage2", "vgstorage2/lvol0" ] }

I wrote line in /etc/fstab, but when I reboot server the vg is deactivate and I must disable line in /etc/fstab. I activate vg by vgchange -a y vgstorage2 and then mount it to the system.
I don't know what I do bad? Where is problem? Which options I have to enable?

Thanks
Lada

Making a new /boot/initrd... image (mkinitrd) while the new logical volume is present in fstab and mounted should fix the problem.

Be sure to make a backup copy of the original initrd in case something goes wrong.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. I do new /boot/initrd and disk is online after reboot.

Bye,
