64 Studio 3.0 and LVM2
Greetings all!
I'm a new member to the forum and, indeed, to 64 Studio in general. My overall frustration with UbuntuStudio 9.04 finally reached it's peak recently and I decided to (finally) give 64 Studio a try.
I've fresh-installed 64 Studio 3.0 beta 3 on a free partition to my music box and run into a slight problem. I can't get the new system to recognize my existing LVM2 partition. This is a bit of a deal-breaker for me since that's where I keep *all* my studio resources, i.e., projects, soundfonts, samples, etc.. Everything.
I've still got an old 32-bit UbuntuStudio (hardy) install on another partition, and am able to switch back and forth to check and compare. I figured it wouldn't be all that hard to pinpoint since Studio 3.0 is Hardy-derived, but this one's got me completely baffled.
Briefly (what I've tried/checked):
1st thing I did was to export the partition from UbuntuStudio. No problems. Switched to 64 Studio and then tried to import the partition with:
~~~
wdubois@64studio:~$ sudo vgimport -a
No volume groups found
~~~
vgscan gives similar results:
~~~
wdubois@64studio:~$ sudo vgscan -vv
Setting global/locking_type to 1
File-based locking selected.
Setting global/locking_dir to /var/lock/lvm
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Wiping internal VG cache
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Finding all volume groups
No volume groups found
~~~
Same for pvscan. However, the same commands on the Hardy partition properly show the volume groups and show that it's been exported.
I've even go so far as to compare module listings from both envirionments to see if there was any difference in loaded modules with, unfortunately, negative results.
FWIW, I'm running one of Quentin's kernels:
wdubois@64studio:~$ uname -a
Linux 64studio 2.6.29.3-rt13-20090516 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sat May 16 00:35:44 SAST 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any ideas?
