VG issue

[meekrob]

Hello Everyone,

lately im having an issue with an already created Volume Group on my system.

The fact is, that i need to re-activate the VG after every system restart.

I already checked the /etc/fstab and it already contains an entry for the specified VG and its corresponding lvols.

Any suggestion plz?

Hi,

Check the following:

• Make sure the automatic volume group activation flag "AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE" is enabled in /etc/lvmrc file. 

Example:

# cat /etc/lvmrc

.......

AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=1  --> auto vg activation is enabled here. 

• Make sure there is no customized volume group activation defined in /etc/lvmrc file. 

Example:

# cat /etc/lvmrc

......

custom_vg_activation()
{
# e.g. /sbin/vgchange -a y -s
# parallel_vg_sync "/dev/vg00 /dev/vg01"
# parallel_vg_sync "/dev/vg02 /dev/vg03"

return 0
}

• Check the /etc/rc.log for any lvm errors
