Hi all, A few days ago I had to reset a node in the cluster. On reboot I get the following : Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module Loading dm-mirror.ko module Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Making device-mapper control node Scanning logical volumes Unable to open external locking library liblvm2clusterlock.so Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... cdrom: open failed. Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "MSA_VOL" using metadata type lvm2 Activating logical volumes Unable to open external locking library liblvm2clusterlock.so Locking inactive: ignoring clustered volume group VolGroup00 ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 402) Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! This is a result of the following commands in my initrd : insmod /lib/jbd.ko echo "Loading ext3.ko module" insmod /lib/ext3.ko echo "Loading dm-mirror.ko module" insmod /lib/dm-mirror.ko echo "Loading dm-zero.ko module" insmod /lib/dm-zero.ko echo "Loading dm-snapshot.ko module" insmod /lib/dm-snapshot.ko /sbin/udevstart echo Making device-mapper control node mkdmnod echo Scanning logical volumes lvm vgscan --ignorelockingfailure echo Activating logical volumes lvm vgchange -ay --ignorelockingfailure VolGroup00 echo Creating root device mkrootdev /dev/root umount /sys echo Mounting root filesystem mount -o defaults --ro -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot mount -t tmpfs --bind /dev /sysroot/dev echo Switching to new root switchroot /sysroot umount /initrd/dev The other node is exactly the same and comes up no problem with the same initrd + kernel. I can access all the logical volumes from a rescue disk. All based on Centos 4.4 with latest updates. Any ideas? Thanks, D.
