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"; format="flowed" To: LVM general discussion and development I have a server which uses LVM2 and "exports" these volume using iSCSI. On iSCSI initiators, I can use those "exported" volumes, including partitions, just fine: # ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 31 19:06 part -> ../../sdaa lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 31 19:06 part1 -> ../../sdaa1 On the server with LVM I also see that the disk is partitioned, but that's about it: # fdisk /dev/mapper/san1-sample -l Disk /dev/mapper/san1-mibeg--sql1: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 8192 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mapper/san1-samplep1 * 1 8191 8387568 7 HPFS/NTFS However, I've no idea how to access that partition (i.e., mount it) on the server with LVM. Perhaps I have to create some nodes, but what nodes? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
