mkfs.ext3: Permission denied while trying to determine filesystem size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Can't create a  logical volume, have no problems doing it on another
rawhide box.  Plenty of space, I've done this ++++ times and for some
reason this box is just causing a problem.  "permission denied"

Could this be a dieing HD?  The box has 4x36GB scsi drives in it, in
Raid0/lvm config.


[root@trinity ~]# lvcreate -L2G -nLogVol08 VolGroup01

The differences on the box that work don't work are following,

Works  (x86_64/rawhide)
# rpm -qa | grep lvm
lvm2-2.01.08-1.0   <----- WHY 2?
lvm2-2.01.08-2.1
system-config-lvm-0.9.32-1.0
# rpm -qa | grep e2fsprogs
e2fsprogs-devel-1.37-4
e2fsprogs-1.37-4.x86_64
e2fsprogs-1.37-4.i386



Doesn't work (x86/Rawhide)
# rpm -qa | grep lvm
lvm2-2.01.08-2.1
system-config-lvm-0.9.32-1.0
# rpm -qa | grep e2fsprogs
e2fsprogs-devel-1.37-4
e2fsprogs-1.37-4
Both box's are in a soft raid/lvm config,  Not sure why the i386 box
defaulted to VolGroup01 but shouldn't matter in any case.
