Mounting LVM partitions on external hard disk
Hi, I have problems to mount LVM partitions on an external firewire disk. The problem is that the LVM groups/partitions (?) are not activated when I plug in the hard disk. The only way to solve it is currently to start the YaST partitioning tool which somehow activates them and makes them available to teh kernel. To achieve a similar thing I tried on the command line: vgscan && vgchange -a y and lvmdiskscan && vgchange -a y But none of these work. So I guess there are other commands to activate them? Cheers, Ulrich
Hi, I am new to this forum, bit might just have an intersting problem to contribute. After running Fdisk (whatever I should do that for?) Grub no longer finds its menu.lst file. I am runnig SuSE 9.0 on a disk with WinXP on the first partition. Linux should therefore be on (hd0,2), but Grub now says it on (hd0,3), which is impossible since there is no forth partition... When I start the menu manually and change the Linux boot sequence to (hd0,3), the kernel loads but then halts with a kernel panic message. Something seems to be very wrong, or is it just a simple editing problem? Anyway I am thankful for all help & hints. Lars Ilshammar Örebro University Sweden

/etc/grub.conf is where you can alter it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
