Hello all

I just found out about this LVM mailing list, so I am posting this also here (already posted in linux-cluster).

Hello,

I have a 2 node cluster at home with CentOS 5 running on 64bit AMDx2 with DRBD

2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.centos.plus

drbd82-8.2.6-1.el5.centos

lvm2-2.02.32-4.el5

lvm2-cluster-2.02.32-4.el5

system-config-lvm-1.1.3-2.0.el5

I do not know if my problem is directly related to http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_51_10471.shtm and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=138396

I do:

pvcreate --metadatacopies 2 /dev/drbd0 /dev/drbd1

vgcreate -v vg0 -c y /dev/drbd0 /dev/drbd1

lvcreate -v -L 348G -n data0 vg0

Then I reboot.

The LV never becomes available.

If I try

vgchange -a y

I get

  Error locking on node tweety-1: Volume group for uuid not found: 7Z9ra5zee3ZK7pNpfsblvtMOWXhgkZVEiJrzRQshaaiN5JKtJtkPDkQWfFXYKVVa

  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg0" now active

If I do

clvmd –R

Then with

vgchange –a y vg0.

the LV becomes available.

Is this really related to the above mentioned bug?

How can I make the LV become available during boot up without any intervention?

Thank you all for your time,

Theophanis Kontogiannis
