Hi !

I have problem with LVM beta6.
I have RedHat 7.0 with 2.4.2 kernel (compilation with
util-linux 2.10o, modutlis 2.4.2 & e2fsprogs 1.19).
After compilation all is OK.
I'm installing LVM (first- .configure - OK,
second- compilation with LVM as module - OK,
third- make - OK, fourth- make install - OK).
but when i started module and i want create lvm group
(vgcreate lvmgrp /dev/sd?? /dev/sd??) I obtain:
lvm -- lvm_chr_ioctl: unknown command 4004fe0a
vgcreate -- ERROR "Invalid argument" creating VGDA for volume group
"lvmgrp" in kernel.
I don't known what i do bad?
(With beta4 end beta5 this error recurs too.)
Help me please.

Thanks for Your help.

Artur

Andreas answered this question already. (In short: upgrade kernel part 
of lvm to beta6 or use a patch provided by Andreas) See e.g.
 http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2001-March/006580.html

There is also a search page for the archive of this (and the other)
lvm mailing list(s):

(4004fe0a leads to the answers)
