vgdisplay error on make_recovery

[Chris Fadrowski]

Everytime I run a make_recovery, i get an "error in vgdisplay command" message. I looked for non-existant vg's that may be on the system and deleted them, i also deleted the vg's from the arch.include file in ignite directory. Any where else i should look? or where could this error be coming from?

Hi,

check with bdf /
if your / filesystem is mapped to /dev/root.
If this is the case remove /etc/mnttab and do a
mount or bdf. This will recreate the /etc/mnttab.
After this the / filesysteme should be mapped to /dev/vg00/lvol3.

Chris,

What is the error message you're getting?

Hi,

Check the file /etc/lvmtab with the command strings /etc/lvmtab (verify if there are any vgs not valid), and check the file /etc/fstab with there are vgs not existent there.

Good Luck,
Eliane
