Re: No lvm2 volumes after kernel update

Well I use only the kernel modules (dm_mod) and let userspace do its
stuff, 
mainly debian's /etc/init.d/lvm does the job well. It relies on pvscan 
detecting the volumes.

There never was mdadm or md on this box, only one single disk /dev/sdb 
containing no partition table but the physical volume.

As said, no mdadm tools on this machine. I actually have a
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf 
(its contens is "DEVICE partitions" only), but it is not owned by any
package.

I thought of that already, but the disks are SATA so the were named sda
and sdb any
time.
