[linux-lvm] RE: [Linux-cluster] Issue with clvmd - Is it really bug??

["Theophanis Kontogiannis" <theophanis_kontogiannis@yahoo.gr>]

Hello Christine and All,

This was exactly the problem. The sequence of services startup. In the past I had fixed this. However and because the problems started after the update I did to the system, it never occurred to me that the problem might be the sequence of services startup. In fact I never looked in the /etc/rc3.d to take a look at it.

So because I never thought about this possibility, and because the problems started after the system update were lvm2 / clvm was also updated, it stuck in my mind that the problem was due to the new version of the clvmd and lvm2.

Thank you all for your time,

Sincerely,

Theophanis Kontogiannis

As you're using drbd for the PV, I think it might be to do startup 
ordering. If drbd is started AFTER clvmd then it won't see the devices, 
and you'll get exactly the symptoms you describe.

if you can, move drbd to before clvmd, or clvmd after drbd. Or, failing 
that, put the extra commands you used above into their own startup script.
