lvcreate -D

[Raul_10]

Does anybody now why my lvcreate binary does not include -D (distributed lvol), I?ve got this patch filesets regarding LVM:

# swlist -l fileset PH* |grep -i lvm

Hi,

i have checked my server and have the same patches.
If i type lvcreate i get the useage with the -D option.
What you could check is the /sbin/lvcreate or /usr/sbin/lvcreate for difference.

I don't know if this would help...
but isn't it possible that you could turn it back on by using lvchange -D and then an f option to force distributed policy to be turned on to an exisiting lv.

Just a thought,
