Thanks for your help Heinz. Hmmm, pretty od really. pvdisplay calls the pv_status() lib function which retrieves the information from the kernel. That's why i asked for the proc output which shows that the PVs are _active_ and allocatable. Wait, need to preserve the core flags to make this work... Could you test if the following patch to pvdisplay.c helps ? diff -u -B -u -r1.25 pvdisplay.c --- tools/pvdisplay.c 6 Feb 2003 15:05:30 -0000 1.25 +++ tools/pvdisplay.c 11 Feb 2003 15:31:51 -0000 @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ * 06/02/2002 - cope with changed pv_get_size() return cast * 07/02/2002 - fixes for > 1TB support * 17/02/2002 - avoid pv_get_size() altogether + * 11/02/2002 - fixed bug preventing correct 'active' status displayed [HM] * */ @@ -231,7 +232,8 @@ return LVM_EPVDISPLAY_PV_CHECK_CONSISTENCY; } - /* restore the from disk pointer */ + /* restore the from disk pointer _but_ preserve kernel status */ + pv_from_disk->pv_status = pv->pv_status; pv = pv_from_disk; if ( opt_c == 0) { > > Rupert > > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
