Did you load the necessary modules? > Did you load the necessary modules?
No, I didn't find them:
livecd root # ls /sys/module/
e100 ieee1394 ohci1394 parport_pc pppox uhci_hcd
ehci_hcd ipv6 ohci_hcd ppp_generic sbp2 usb_storage
evdev mii parport pppoe slhc
Well, /sys/module will only show you loaded modules, not all the modules on the CD. Try looking under /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel, which is where the modules reside. You're looking for the following: dm-mod dm-snapshot dm-mirror and any other dm-* modules. I find the dm stuf you mention: livecd root # find /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/ -name dm\* /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-bbr.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-crypt.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mirror.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-round-robin.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-snapshot.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-zero.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/md/dm-multipath.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/dmfe.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/scsi/dmx3191d.ko But according to the lvm documentation and my experience with Fedora and RedHat EL, there should be a file/module called lvm-mod, there also is no /proc/lvm directory, but that might be because the module is not loaden. This should be fixed in 2005.0 |
