Re: Unable to activate VG

yes you can just mknod it. If you are in the directory containing "group" already.

It will be "mknod lvol2 b 64 0x020002" and then don't forget the raw device too

"mknod rlvol2 c 64 0x020002"
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"

Re: Unable to activate VG

Instead of mknod, I did a

vgexport
vgscan
and
vgimport


I was able to recover the VG. Thanks a lot for all the responses :-)
