[linux-lvm] Problems: reiserfs lvm as /

[Peter Kirk]

Hi,

I am new to LVM, and I ran into some problems.
First thing I did, was to setup LVM within the SuSE7.1 setup tools, which 
worked out fine.
/boot is not on LVM, ext2fs
swap is not on LVM
LVM:
	/	[reiserfs]
	/usr	[reiserfs]
	/home	[reiserfs]

I have too disks, so I set the strip option to two, to get better 
performance. Now I want to compile a new kernel (2.4.4), and I cannot get lvm 
working with it. Since root is on LVM I need to do this lvmcreate_initrd 
stuff, but it does not work ! I get:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 file system).
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=4612, limit=4096
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=4613, limit=4096
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=4614, limit=4096
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=4615, limit=4096
VFS: Cannot open root device "3a02" or 3a:02
Please append the correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:02

in lilo.conf it says:
boot=/dev/raid/root
This should be the correct root. It works with the old 2.4.0 Kernel made from 
SuSE, propably something is with the initrd or with the Kernel-Setup

Please help !!
Thanks

Peter,

"boot=" in lilo.conf indicates on which device's MBR lilo is going to be
installed (I think).

There should be a "root=" entry in lilo.conf as well that indicates where your
root filesystem is located. Can you send your complete lilo.conf file?

Re: [linux-lvm] Problems: reiserfs lvm as /

[Peter Kirk]

Sorry, 
it was a typo, I ment "root=", the lilo.conf should not be my problem, since 
it works with the 2.4.0 Kernel from SuSE, and I have just about the same 
settings. But anyhow I'll put the lilo.conf on the end.

Re: [linux-lvm] Problems: reiserfs lvm as /

[Peter Kirk]

Hi,

reiserfs on root in LVM is working now, but I had to use a totipotent Kernel, 
with all options aktivated. Could anybody tell me which Options are Required 
for Initial Ram Disk (initrd) support ??

Thanks

                     ^^^^

What a hell ext2fs does with your reiserfs filesystem??
Do you have compiled reiser as a module or in kernel?
Do you have included and loaded reiserfs from your initrd
if it is a module?
Why in a case when your root is on reiserfs, you included
ext2 in kernel?

Ummm... :)

Doh!  Ext2 code should check more carefully if it
mounted (or attempted to) ext2 fs -- what a bizzare,
ext2 code treats reiserfs as ext2fs!..

 Michael.

ext2fs and reiserfs are built into the Kernel, as it always worked, until I 
got LVM. I think there is some stuff in the Kernel Config missing, that I 
should have - perhaps initial RAM disk stuff ? What do I need for that ?

RE: [linux-lvm] Problems: reiserfs lvm as /

[Steve Wray]

The init ramdrive is on ext2 filesystem.
The kernel only allows e2fs or minixfs on ramdisk.

Hence e2fs or minixfs must be built into the kernel.

Re: [linux-lvm] Problems: reiserfs lvm as /

[Tom Dawes-Gamble]

Hi,

	These messages are similar to the ones I saw building my 
/ on LVM system yesterday.  I am using ext2 file systems though.  
The default kernel parameter is ramdisk size 4096.  I read the messages 
to mean the ramdisk is not large enough.

I fixed it by adding a ramdisk option to the root on lvm entry in lilo.conf
so it looked like this:-

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2-lvm.1
        label=linux-lvm
        initrd=/boot/initrd_from_lvmcreate_initrd
        read-only
        root=/dev/vg00/root
	ramdisk=5120

Could have up the kernel parameter instead I guess.
I have not done testing yet and will give a better account of my 
problems and solutions later.

Since lvm was the only module in the ramdisk it may be that a default
ramdisk is not enough.  Perhaps we should add a note to the HOW-TO
for days like this.

JFTR. I'm using RH 7.1 and beta7 LVM.

Tom.

I have put my .config on the end, maybe some of you know what is 
misconfigured.

It looks to me like youhave not configured any RAM disk stuff.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y

Is what I have in my config

well,
RAM disk support = y
Initrd = y
ramdisk_size = ....
<filesystem_of_initrd>-support = y

That would be enough....

Not quite. The initial ramdisk has to be either
ext2 or minix filesystem so one of these needs to be
compiled in.

Also I don't think that ramdisk_size has to be compiled in.
