[Devil-Linux-discuss] getting LVM VG devil-linux on hard drive to 'stick' across reboots...

[John <jm...@ce...>]

I'm upgrading to DL V1.2.10 on my firewall PC and it seems to be having 
trouble keeping an LVM defined VG on the IDE hard drive to 'stick' 
across reboots.

I have defined the 'devil-linux' volume group on the third physical 
partition of the hard drive (fdisk sees it as part3).  I have several 
logical volumes such as swap, spool, squid, opt, home which were then 
formatted with mkfs.reiserfs or mkfs.ext3 as I thought would work best 
(excluding swap which was formatted with mkswap).  All operations 
completed successfully.

DL seems to mount the 'devil-linux' volume group at boot time, but any 
file or directory that I create under /var seems to disappear after a 
reboot.  How can I verify that LVM is working OK, and fix it if it 
isn't?  Is there a step missing in the web-online documentation for 
volume groups.   I did vgscan and a save-config following LVM creations 
and LV updates.
