Subject: [linux-lvm] infinite loop in /dev/discs
Date: Thu, 06 May 2004 14:27:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <409A2F2E.6030106@laPoste.net> (raw)
Hello,
I am encountering problems with lvm and devfs. lvm version says:
LVM version: 2.00.08 (2003-11-14)
Library version: 1.00.07-ioctl (2003-11-21)
Driver version: 4.1.0
When running any lvm command (even version), lvm runs into an infinite
loop, looking for devices like /dev/discs/disc2/discs/disc2..., disc2
being a symlink to its parent. Many more symlinks appear named
/dev/discs[2-9]* and /dev/disc1[0-9]*, instead of only disc0 and disc1.
A strace gives me lots of stat64. A temporary solution is to rm the
/etc/lvm/.cache, rm all strange devices in /dev/discs, and launch lvm
anew. I think LVM should prevent these infinite loops from occurring,
since this prevented my computer from booting; even though this could be
a problem with devfs.
It seems the download page has moved to redhat's site, with slightly
newer versions I have not yet tested.
Thank you
