Hi experts,
I have a Linux system that has 4 x 300G disks (dev/hd[efgh]). All four
have a 20G raw device on partition 1 that is used by Oracle ASM. I
wanted to assign the remaining diskspace to a logical volume. This was
successful for /dev/hd[efg]2 but on /dev/hdh2 I get:
pvcreate /dev/hdh2
"Cant' open exclusively, Mounted filesystem?"
I'm in single user mode, as far as I can see /dev/hdh2 is not mounted
(service rawdevices stop; so /dev/hdh1 is not used either)
fuser /dev/hdh2 does not reveal anything
Tried pvcreate --debug /dev/hdh2 but no additional info is given. I
first thought it was the ASM / LVM combination but the other 3 disks
work fine.
Then I removed all partitions and tried to do a
pvcreate /dev/hdh, same error (did a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdh bs=512
count=1 to wipe out)
Also wiped out the entire disk.
Finally I created a partition and did a mkfs -ext3 /dev/hdh1, works fine
But LVM simply refuses!?
Any thoughts? Is there a way to get debug info?
LVM 2.02.01, driver 4.5.0
