RE: [suse-autoinstall] lvm volume group problem
Yes, that's what I was trying. The problem is that /dev/vg0 doesn't exist because the volume group isn't being successfully created in the previous section. As such, the install fails terribly.

Interesting. Here at SUSE the latest SP we have is SP3.
<partitioning config:type="list"> <drive>
...
</drive> </partitioning>
I don't know how this will be solved with SP5 but with SP3 you have to configure a second <drive> with <device>/dev/vg0</device> if you have a volume group with the name vg0. Put all partitions into that drive that shall be in the LVM. example 4.16 on page: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/CreateProfile.Partitioning.html#id252985... explains it. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com

you have to create logical volumes in the vg. If you don't do that and just configure the VG but no volumes, then the VG is not created. Unfortunately you did not provide me the information I asked you for. I wanted to see your partitioning part of the profile with the logical volumes. Even if that "fails terribly" I want to see it and I don't want to see a version that does not work either but does not fail that terrible. That the VG is not created might just be an error, triggered by the profile part you did not show us. The logical volume configuration. So, to speed things up, I start to guess. Did you forget the <use>all</use> in the logical volume drive configuration? If not, again, please poste your complete partitioning section. Even if it fails terribly. I can stand it. Just show it. :) -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
