Deactivating LVM
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 6.3
Symptom:
You have selected the option "Configure the Logical Volume
Manager". In the following menu option you have
selected "No". Regardless, when your machine boots up, it still
tries to initialize the Logical Volumes.
Reason:
There is a problem with the LVM configuration. Even when selecting "No"
the LVM still gets started.
Solution:
Delete the file /etc/lvmtab as well as the directory
/etc/lvmtab.d. This can be done from the command line
as root with the following command:
rm -r /etc/lvmtab*
When you reboot your machine, it will not search for or try to initialize
the Logical Volumes.
