everytime i boot up I have to:
vgscan
mount -a
what is the command to get suse to automatically run vgscan at boot?
The script /etc/init.d/boot.d/boot.lvm references a variable set in /etc/sysconfig/lvm, which enables boot time scanning for VG’s.
These sysconfig variables are generally set by YaST, so the safest way to enable it is normally there, unless you know what you’re doing 
Thanks.
Do I need the quotation marks? eg
LVM_VGS_ACTIVATED_ON_BOOT="yes"
I have tried:
LVM_VGS_ACTIVATED_ON_BOOT=""
LVM_VGS_ACTIVATED_ON_BOOT=“yes”
LVM_VGS_ACTIVATED_ON_BOOT=“Data”
LVM_VGS_ACTIVATED_ON_BOOT=Data
They all result in the below happening:
linux-qu47 ~ # mount -a
mount: special device UUID=0a18d897-0aab-4098-a711-12f5f8c943c9 does not exist

Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while…

anyone with any ideas?
