LVM on RAID1 fails to recall recently set volume groups
I've been using a dvd-r of debian sarge that was downloaded and burned
a few months ago. I'm using the 2.6 kernel. Most all of what i
recall is from memory only, because the machine in question is at the
office.
My harddrives are sata (about 160gb each, two of them). There are
three partitions on each drive. The first, being about 159 gb is for
md1 in a raid1 configuration. The next is a 15 MB partition for /boot
(the second drive is identical, but is /boot/alt - incase sda ever
dies). And lastly the balance (950mb) for md0 in raid0 configuration.
md0 is formatted for swap.
I've set md1 as an lvm partition. When I attempt to add a volume
group, it does not complain. I've used different names while trying
this (primary, something, etcetc). When I attempt to create logical
volumes, the installer complains that I have not setup a volume group.
In a previous install, I was able to assign logical volumes, mount
points, file system types and sizes.
Is there anything else I can do to try to resolve this matter? Is
this a known issue? Was there something else I should check?
Thank you,
Scott Edwards
