Re-install OS 10.20

[ajk_2]

Dear all,

Well, I have a problem and hope you can help. I did re-install OS 10.20 to a D270 machine. I did create some volume groups and some logical volumes using SAM. When I tried to save them, it caused an error "Can't find a lv number....." something like that. How can I solve the problem? Thanks a lot!

Hi,

You most likely have a problem in that SAM is
trying to create a volume number that may
exist in another volume group. Please include
a copy of this output.

# vgdisplay -v

Also, did you patch your system after the
re-install and to what patch bundle level?

Hello,

check the minor device numbers of all your files in the volume group directories.
The *syntax* is like "0xGG00LL", where "0x" means hexadecimal, "VV" is the unique Volume Group number, "00" are two zeros, and "LL" is the internal Loginal Volume number.
All entries in one directory must have the same "GG", but a different one than any other volume group.
I guess there's your problem...

HTH,
