Partitioning and LVM

[satimis]

Hi folks,

I have following partitions on the HD

# fdisk -l

/dev/hda1 * 83 System (for /boot)
/dev/hda2     5 Extended (as swap)
/dev/hda3   83 Linux (for /root)
/dev/hda4   8e Linux LVM (for /home /usr /var /opt /tmp)

Encountered following problems;

1)
# vgscan

Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while
Incorrect metadata area header checksum

2)
# vgchange -a y

Incorrect metadata area header checksum

Please advise how to rectify these problems. TIA

Hi folks,

I found out the trick.

On /etc/lvm/lvm.conf the line;
filter = [ "a/.*/" ]

should be replaced with;
filter = [ "a|/dev/hda4]|", "r/.*/" ]
(in my case)

Previously I wrote the line as;
filter = [ "a|/dev/hda]|", "r/.*/" ]


Now
# vgscan

Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
No volume groups found

# vgchange -a y

No volume groups found

I don't know whether this is a mistake. Because according to;
Gentoo LVM2 installation
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml

It should be no printout.

Tks
