Here's something; # service clvmd start Starting clvmd: [ OK ] /etc/init.d/clvmd: line 25: 8667 Segmentation fault $VGSCAN >/dev/null 2>&1 Activating VGs: [ OK ] The log shows; Jan 22 11:22:44 cweb92 clvmd: Cluster LVM daemon started - connected to CMAN Jan 22 11:22:44 cweb92 lvm[8635]: locking_type not set correctly in lvm.conf, cluster operations will not work. Jan 22 11:22:44 cweb92 clvmd: clvmd startup succeeded Jan 22 11:22:45 cweb92 clvmd: Activating VGs: succeeded I just noticed this in my lvm.conf; # Type of locking to use. Defaults to file-based locking (1). # Turn locking off by setting to 0 (dangerous: risks metadata corruption # if LVM2 commands get run concurrently). locking_type = 1 # Local non-LV directory that holds file-based locks while commands are # in progress. A directory like /tmp that may get wiped on reboot is OK. locking_dir = "/var/lock/lvm" It used to be; locking_type = 2 locking_library = "/usr/lib/liblvm2clusterlock.so" What is confusing is that I did not change this nor did I upgrade anything and it happened after this hardware crash? What in the world does it all mean? Mike -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
