Hello, I am trying to use LVM 2 on my Mandrake 9.1 system. I put all the physical drives and whatnot into vg1. However when I try to make a lv, I get the error:


/dev/mapper/control: open failed: No such file or directory
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
striped: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel
lvcreate: Create a logical volume

And on TLDP, under compiling device-mapper module there is the ever so helpful: FIXME: Still needs to be added.

I am fairly certain that it is something fairly obvious but I cannot begin to think of what it may be,

ANY help greatly appreciated.
