Hello, I have a server running CentOS 4.7 and I want to add a new USB-HD for backup some data. I made the file system as ext3 with the command: / mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1/ After that I did add a new Volume Group and Logical Volume (/VolGrup01-LogVol01) /on that file system and mounted it as /backup. It worked fine but when I did reboot the server It wont mount /backup and I got the following error even after the system boots and I try to mount it manually: /mount: special device /dev/VolGrup01/LogVol01 does not exist/ I will appreciate any comment or suggestion about the best way to get through this. Regards, --Ivan.
