Reply-To: LVM general discussion and development List-Id: LVM general discussion and development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-lvm@redhat.com This pretty much sums it up: imgserv:/storage/# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/storage/storage' [3.62 TB] inherit imgserv:/storage/# fdisk /dev/storage/storage Unable to read /dev/storage/storage I can't mount it, access it with fdisk. Here's the lvdisplay output: imgserv:/storage/# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/storage/storage VG Name storage LV UUID Cw8aAr-YHsR-oVfH-7AAx-2ppa-Zm3M-U9z1eA LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 3.62 TB Current LE 948962 Segments 3 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:0 This is on debian etch. This is what I see at the end of dmesg: cdrom: open failed. hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: packet command error: error=0x54 Which I don't think has anything to do with this problem, as hdc is NOT one of the physical volumes... it's a cdrom drive. Is there anything I can do to debug this? -- Adam Olsen SendOutCards.com http://www.vimtips.org http://last.fm/user/synic
