Hello I believe I have the same problem as described here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/6250 Here are the last requested commands: # dmsetup table dlt 0 4096 crypt aes-xts-plain64 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0 254:8 4096 # dmsetup info -c dlt Name Maj Min Stat Open Targ Event UUID dlt 254 9 L--w 1 1 0 CRYPT-LUKS1-731df69c78e94882982899390c71bb3b-dlt # lsblk lsblk: dm-0: failed to get device path lsblk: dm-0: failed to get device path NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 0 1.8T 0 part sdb 8:16 0 2.7T 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 0 2.7T 0 part sdc 8:32 0 2.7T 0 disk └─sdc1 8:33 0 2.7T 0 part sdd 8:48 0 2.7T 0 disk └─sdd1 8:49 0 2.7T 0 part sde 8:64 0 2.7T 0 disk └─sde1 8:65 0 2.7T 0 part sdf 8:80 0 1.8T 0 disk sdg 8:96 1 3.8G 0 disk └─sdg1 8:97 1 3.8G 0 part loop8 7:8 0 10M 0 loop ├─lt-lvol0_rmeta_0 254:4 0 4M 0 lvm │ └─lt-lvol0 254:8 0 4M 0 lvm │ └─dlt 254:9 0 2M 0 crypt /root/lvm-crypt-test/mnt └─lt-lvol0_rimage_0 254:5 0 12M 0 lvm └─lt-lvol0 254:8 0 4M 0 lvm └─dlt 254:9 0 2M 0 crypt /root/lvm-crypt-test/mnt loop9 7:9 0 10M 0 loop ├─lt-lvol0_rmeta_1 254:6 0 4M 0 lvm │ └─lt-lvol0 254:8 0 4M 0 lvm │ └─dlt 254:9 0 2M 0 crypt /root/lvm-crypt-test/mnt └─lt-lvol0_rimage_1 254:7 0 12M 0 lvm └─lt-lvol0 254:8 0 4M 0 lvm └─dlt 254:9 0 2M 0 crypt /root/lvm-crypt-test/mnt loop10 7:10 0 10M 0 loop └─lt-lvol0_rimage_0 254:5 0 12M 0 lvm └─lt-lvol0 254:8 0 4M 0 lvm └─dlt 254:9 0 2M 0 crypt /root/lvm-crypt-test/mnt loop11 7:11 0 10M 0 loop └─lt-lvol0_rimage_1 254:7 0 12M 0 lvm └─lt-lvol0 254:8 0 4M 0 lvm └─dlt 254:9 0 2M 0 crypt /root/lvm-crypt-test/mnt This happened to me after I was trying out lvm and then crypt on top lvm. First, let's have a workspace # cd /root; mkdir lvm-crypt-test; cd lvm-crypt-test Fake some block devs # mknod /dev/lta b 7 8 # mknod /dev/ltb b 7 9 # mknod /dev/ltc b 7 10 # mknod /dev/ltd b 7 11 # for i in a b c d; do fallocate -l 10M sd$i; losetup /dev/lt$i sd$i; done Make an LVM raid1 # pvcreate /dev/lt{a,b,c,d} # vgcreate lt /dev/lt{a,b,c,d} # lvcreate -m1 -l 100%VG lt /dev/lt{a,b} Encrypt it # echo "aaa" > key # cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/lt/lvol0 -d key Format and mount # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/lt/lvol0 -d key dlt # mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/dlt # mkdir ./mnt; mount /dev/mapper/dlt ./mnt Now comes the part where I broke it # lvextend /dev/lt/lvol0 /dev/lt{c,d} -l 100%VG I tried to umount mnt but it got stuck in uninterruptible sleep. But umount -l worked for me. # cat /proc/mounts | grep dlt # cat /proc/mounts | grep mnt # But I am not able to anything about dlt and the underlying devices. Not even turn the system off normally as that gets stuck on sync(). # ps auxf | grep D USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 15193 0.0 0.0 27488 4436 ?
