[linux-lvm] lvm_vg_create_lv_linear() returns error though device was created

[linux-lvm] lvm_vg_create_lv_linear() returns error though device was created

[Christoph Pleger]

Hello,

I am now trying to not call external LVM commands, but to use LVM 
library calls instead. Now I have another problem:


lvm_vg_create_lv_linear(vg, pam_user, LVSIZE) returns NULL, what means 
an error. Normally I would think that I made a mistake, but when I 
manually call lvdisplay, I can see the LV and I can activate it with 
lvchange. How can it happen that lvm_vg_create_lv_linear() returns NULL 
though the LV was created?

And a minor problem: The LVM library logs with syslog(), but I use my 
own syslog() calls in my program and as soon as lvm_init() has been 
called, both the identifier and the log facility change, so that logs go 
to another file. Can I somehow disable that?

Regards
   Christoph

lvm library is DEAD, it's gone, it does not exists in upstream tree any more.
It's been marked as deprecated for many years.

Please forget it has ever existed.
