Either mount is segfaulting (unlikely) or you are getting an oops in the kernel. You need do run something like "dmesg | ksymoops" in order to get some useful data about where the problem is (could be xfs, LVM, or elsewhere in the kernel). Once you have an oops, you are best off rebooting the system, because your kernel memory may be corrupted, and cause more oopses which do not mean anything. If you look in /var/log/messages (or /var/log/kern.log or some other place, depending on where kernel messages go), you can decode the FIRST oops in the log with ksymoops. All subsequent ones are useless. > the LV ( lvcreate -i3 -I4 -L26G -nMusic ) > > the VG -> myData /dev/hdh10 /dev/linVG1/linLV1 /dev/linVG2/linLV2 > > /dev/hdh10 normal partition 14G > /dev/linVG1/linLV1 -> linear LV 14G /dev/hde6 /dev/hde12 > /dev/linVg2/linLV2 -> linear LV 14G /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdg5 /dev/hdg6 /dev/hdg12 There is absolutely no point in doing this (not that it is possible to do so anyways). First of all, striping is almost never needed "for performance" unless you are normally doing very large sequential I/Os, and even so most disks today have very good sequential I/O rates (e.g. 15-30MB/s). Secondly, you _should_ be able to just create a single LV that is striped across all of the PVs above. You would likely need to build it in steps, to ensure that it is striped across the disks correctly.
