[linux-lvm] e2fsck probs with LVM and 2.4.9-ac9+

[linux-lvm] e2fsck probs with LVM and 2.4.9-ac9+

[Shane Shrybman]

Hello,

When I attempted to upgrade to 2.4.9-ac9 and ac14 from 2.4.9-ac6 I ran
into a problem.

With either of these kernels (I didn't try any others between ac6 and
ac14) the kernel boots fine and lvm-mod gets loaded ok but when the first
filesystem that is on an lv gets mounted e2fsck complains and drops me to
admin prompt. The error message is something like this:

The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 524288 blocks
the physical size of the device is 57344
...

When I reboot back into 2.4.9-ac6 everything is fine after e2fsck.

I have e2fsprogs version 1.19, do I need a more recent version?

Regards,

Shane

That depends on how big you expect the devices to be.  I would suspect
an LVM error, but it is hard to say which one causes the problem.  If
you boot your old kernel, do lvscan, and compare to output of lvscan
on new kernel.  Likewise output of /proc/partitions and "df" to see
how big each LV should be.

Cheers, Andreas

Shane,

-ac9 has the LVM 1.0 code in it.
You should give the LVM 1.0.1-rc2 user space code a try in order to address
your problem.

Yes, I thought the lvm user mode tools might be the problem. Are the user
spce tools _always_ backwards compatible? Would it be wise to list the
version of tools required in Documentation/Changes?

Re: [linux-lvm] e2fsck probs with LVM and 2.4.9-ac9+

[Werner John]

Good morning,

I have a question about mixing user space tools from 0.9.1_beta8 with a
2.4.9-ac14 kernel. I understood that the linux-2.4.9-acX ; X >= 9; kernels
use lvm 1.0 code already. So far I had no problems using the "old" lvm user
space tools. Do I have to expect serious problems?

Anyhow, I'll upgrade user space tools to the most recent version but I'm
really curious if it's just a coincidence that everything seems to work
nicely here. 

Regards

Werner
