problem with group file

[luigi coco]

I have created a group file whith this syntax

mknod /dev/vg_name/group c 64 0x110000

system answered:
vgcreate: Cannot open the control file "/dev/vg_name/group"
No such device

If I create until 0x090000 it works but after 0x110000 system answer no such device.

Does anyone know the reason?

Maybe "maxvgs" kernel parameter needs to be increased. The default is 10.

Hi Luigi,

# grep maxvgs /stand/system

10 is the default.

The minor number is in hex so after 0x090000, it would be 0x0a0000
