Hello all-
I have a 7.4Tb lvm2 volume that was working fine until this morning,
when I rebooted the server. It was a 600Gb disk that I did a
lvextend -L+6.7T /dev/homegroup/home
resize2fs /dev/homegroup/home
on last week, and that disk worked fine all week. During reboot, I
get the messages
kernel: device-mapper: table: device 8:193 too small for target
kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
and, needless to say, the disk won't come up
# mount /dev/mapper/homegroup-home /home -t ext3
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/mapper/homegroup-home,
missing codepage or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I've also tried a fsck, but that comes back with
fsck -t ext3 /dev/mapper/homegroup-home
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
fsck.ext3: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/mapper/homegroup-home
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Kernel is 2.6.18-8.1.10.el5PAE.
Is there something else I need to do with the device mapper to change
the size of something for this larger lvm?
# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
home homegroup -wi-d- 7.35T
The hardware all appears to be fine (it's an EMC SAN).
I apologize if this isn't the best place to ask this, but if anyone
has any experience with this error I'd appreciate any help on
correcting it. If there's a better list for this question please
point me there and I'll go away.
Thanks.
