Hi,
I installed my computer from CD to hda. After that I removed the CD from the system and added 3 more IDE disks.
The problem I'm having now is that there seems to be leftovers from the cdrom in the system that I don't know how to get rid of.
When I open the partition manager they show up as hda,b,c & d and everything looks ok. If I do a lvmdiskscan I get the following:
Code:
# lvmdiskscan
/dev/ram0 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/md0 [ 16,95 GB]
/dev/ram1 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/root [ 9,76 GB]
/dev/cdrom [ 19,07 GB]
/dev/ram2 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram3 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram4 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram5 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/hda5 [ 1,16 GB]
/dev/ram6 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/hda6 [ 8,07 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/ram7 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram8 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram9 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram10 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram11 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram12 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram13 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram14 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram15 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/sdb1 [ 34,18 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/hdb1 [ 18,65 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sde1 [ 34,18 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/hdd1 [ 19,12 GB] LVM physical volume
2 disks
18 partitions
0 LVM physical volume whole disks
5 LVM physical volumes
Notice that hdc1 is missing even though it should be there!
I then do [I]pvcreate /dev/hdc1[I] telling me:
Code:
# pvcreate /dev/hdc1
Physical volume "/dev/hdc1" successfully created
But end up with this from lvmdiskscan:
Code:
# lvmdiskscan
/dev/ram0 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/md0 [ 16,95 GB]
/dev/ram1 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/root [ 9,76 GB]

/dev/ram2 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram3 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram4 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram5 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/hda5 [ 1,16 GB]
/dev/ram6 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/hda6 [ 8,07 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/ram7 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram8 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram9 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram10 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram11 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram12 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram13 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram14 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/ram15 [ 31,25 MB]
/dev/sdb1 [ 34,18 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/hdb1 [ 18,65 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sde1 [ 34,18 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/hdd1 [ 19,12 GB] LVM physical volume
1 disk
18 partitions
1 LVM physical volume whole disk
5 LVM physical volumes
Notice that hdc1 is still missing but /dev/cdrom has been set as a LVM device! The only thing I can think of is that Mandriva mixes up the previous cdrom and hdc1? How can i fix it?
