Hi, When I executed the following commands, I get oops running under 2.4.19-rc3 kernel with LVM-1.0.5 + devfs. # lvrename /dev/vg11/lv11_01 /dev/vg11/lv11_01new # vgdisplay -v vg11 I executed "cat /proc/partitions" instead of "vgdisplay", oops occurred, too. I think that the cause of this is the return value of lvm_fs_create_lv() is ignored which is called within a lvm_do_lv_rename function. I made the following patch for this problem, and it seems to work. Any comments? ---8<-----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<---------- --- linux/drivers/md/lvm.c.orig Fri Aug 2 08:51:06 2002 +++ linux/drivers/md/lvm.c Fri Aug 2 08:50:48 2002 @@ -2710,6 +2710,7 @@ { lvm_fs_remove_lv(vg_ptr, lv_ptr); strncpy(lv_ptr->lv_name, lv_req->lv_name, NAME_LEN); + lvm_gendisk.part[MINOR(lv_ptr->lv_dev)].de = lvm_fs_create_lv(vg_ptr, lv_ptr); break; } ---8<-----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<---------- -------------------- Kaoru _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
