I am running LVM with ext3 and recently with Reiserfs on Mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8-26) I had no problems for quite a time with ext3 but when I have tried to play with Reiserfs I've got into big big trouble. This is the /proc/lmv/global listing: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LVM module version LVM 0.9.1_beta7(ish) (20 June 2001) Total: 2 VGs 3 PVs 5 LVs (4 LVs open 4 times) Global: 44714 bytes malloced IOP version: 10 0:09:22 active VG: system [1 PV, 4 LV/4 open] PE Size: 4096 KB Usage [KB/PE]: 9043968 /2208 total 6963200 /1700 used 2080768 /508 free PV: [AA] ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 9043968 /2208 6963200 /1700 2080768 /508 LVs: [AWDL ] 1 409600 /100 1x open [AWDL ] 2 5201920 /1270 1x open [AWDL ] 3 716800 /175 1x open [AWDL ] 4 634880 /155 1x open VG: depot [2 PV, 1 LV/0 open] PE Size: 4096 KB Usage [KB/PE]: 4321280 /1055 total 2097152 /512 used 2224128 /543 free PVs: [AA] ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7 2064384 /504 2064384 /504 0 /0 [AA] ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part8 2256896 /551 32768 /8 2224128 /543 LV: [AWDL ] lvol1 2097152 /512 close -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The VG with problems is "depot". Is split on 2 disk partitions and has one LV using half of the space. I was able at the beginning to mount /dev/depot/lvol1 as reiserfs but after a FS resize I've got the following error trying to mount the FS: # mount -t reiserfs /dev/depot/lvol1 /u0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/depot/lvol1, or too many mounted file systems I was running all the possible checks on /dev/depot/lvol1 as per below: # reiserfsck /dev/depot/lvol1 <-------------reiserfsck, 2002-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x.1b Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/depot/lvol1 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Y [root@cr227180-a lvm]# reiserfsck /dev/depot/lvol1 <-------------reiserfsck, 2002-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x.1b Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/depot/lvol1 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Yes ########### reiserfsck --check started at Sat Mar 9 12:44:21 2002 ########### reiserfs_fetch_ondisk_bitmap: bread failed reading bitmap (491520) Replaying journal.. 0 transactions replayed Checking S+tree..ok Comparing bitmaps..on-disk bitmap does not match to the correct one. 32767 bits differ on-disk bitmap does not match to the correct one.
