LVM driver/module not loaded?

clustered_chaos · 02-27-2003, 12:01 PM

i'm trying to concatenate several physical volumes into a so called volume group forming a storage pool, like a virtual disk. i'm using LVM to do this.

i have made partions on each of the drives and issue the command:

pvcreate /dev/sdb1p1 /dev/sdc1p1 /dev/sdd1p1 /dev/sde1p1

i then get this error:

pvcreate -- ERROR: "/etc/lvmtab" doesn't exist; please run vgscan

i run vgscan and get this message:

vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?

my question is this: WHAT'S UP!?!?!?

your kernel does not support LVM
that is you have not compiled your kernel to support LVM
and if you have you have not properly configured the modules
