first pvcreate on all of the /dev/sd devices<br>and then vgcreate 'volgroupname' /dev/sd1 /dev/sd2 ... /dev/sd6<br><br>the rest should be like creating any other lvm<br><br>btw I am only guessing, but it should work. could also create the volgroup with one drive and then vgextend it with each additional drive, I am positive that will work.
<br><br>also take a look at <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/">http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/</a><br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/2/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:eric@bootz.us">

Hi, I'm using a Slax live cd I must have got from one of the meetings,<br>and I am trying to mount an entire LVM ext3 six scsi drives to save my<br>stuff, but I really dont now how to do this, I know how to mount a<br>
single drive, but not all of them at once to create the LVM<br><br>I thought one of my SCSI drives died ~gasp~ but I had a backup machine<br>and put the scsi drive in the backup machine, and all the scsi drives<br>worked great (it was my scsi board that malfunctioned)... however in
<br>my very poor attempts to try and ~ recover my data off the "so called"<br>bad scsi drive I made some serious boo boos, rendering my terminal<br>useless or gone, my gnome starts great ...I have a gui interface but
<br>with no cli and I need cli to run dhclient so I can get a eth0 running<br>and then send my data to a safer place.<br><br>So, back to my question can I mount 6 scsi configured using LVM/ext3<br>drives under slax live cd?
