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.
