* [linux-lvm] Problem with LVM2 and device-mapper @ 2005-10-18 19:50 Patrick Lawrence (LVM List) 2005-10-18 21:14 ` Jonathan E Brassow 2005-10-20 23:20 ` Valery Mitsyn 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Patrick Lawrence (LVM List) @ 2005-10-18 19:50 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-lvm Hello, I am using CentOS 4 and just did an upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 on my x86_64 home server. After a reboot, one of my vol groups stopped working. It's a volume group spread across 2 disks and when I try to activate that volgroup I get the following: <snip> [root@hetfield mapper]# vgchange -ay VolGroup02 device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument Couldn't load device 'VolGroup02-DVD'. 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup02" now active <snip> and the relevant portion of the /var/log/messages has: <snip> Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: error adding target to table <snip> My other two volgroups are working fine. It's just this third one that has problems. I did quite a bit of googling yesterday, but I didn't come up with much although I have to confess that I know jack about the device mapper... Is there anything I can provide to diagnose the problem further? Since CentOS tracks RHEL4 very closely, I suspect this affects RHEL4 as well.

I thought I've seen something like this in the past, but it always had to do with a partial load of a logical volume. brassow On Oct 18, 2005, at 2:50 PM, Patrick Lawrence (LVM List) wrote: > Hello, > > I am using CentOS 4 and just did an upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 on my > x86_64 > home server.

For me it was "/sbin/dmraid -i -a y" in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit which grab and lock somehow PV on PDC (hmmm. RAID card). I don't know how it happend in details but looks like "rpm -e dmraid" should help. > <snip> > > and the relevant portion of the /var/log/messages has: > > <snip> > Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup > failed > Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: error adding target to > table > <snip> > > My other two volgroups are working fine.
