systemctl enable lvm-monitoring : Invalid argument

theking2 · 2012-12-05 22:21:35

Hi!

When I issue the command " systemctl enable lvm-monitoring" I get "Operation failed: Invalid argument".

I have a really simple NAS system with lvm to handle the storage. Arch is sitting on a separate SSD. [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemctl] suggested this daemon.

Is the wiki wrong or is there something wrong with my setup?

Works for me. Are you doing this from the install media, or have you already booted into Arch?

It's in arch on a existing installation dating back from 4 years.

What is the output from

pacman -Qs lvm2

and

pacman -Qk lvm2

and

cat /proc/1/comm

And why are you are you opening 5 topics to related problems (switching to systemd) at the seam time?

cat /proc/1/comm

That is a one not a L.
But most likely you are not booting via systemd.

Because they are only related to systemd but all distinct topics: documentation, wiki, LVM, etc. I just considered it fair not to mingle to many disjunctive topics in one thread but I'm open to suggestions. :-)

cat /proc/1/comm
init

I couldn't successfully boot "via" systemd see one of the threads you mentioned.

radio silence. I have the distinct feeling I've offended someone.
And yes I'm not booting through systemd because I can't https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154178

One can. You just haven't been reading what people have been posting.

I'm closing this as well: the topic is spurious - if you want to enable a service, boot with systemd.
