Hi: I am a novice with LVM but after going through the man pages and howtos i was unable to find a solution to my problem. I am hoping one of you might find some time to point me in the right direction. I am trying to setup LVM on a RH box. I run vgscan before i can create the volumes but it never returns. Same thing happens with lvmdiskscan and pvscan. Here is a -v and -d output of vgscan ================================================================ [root@fixx /etc]# vgscan -v vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- creating empty "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) ================================================================ The above never returns and i am even unable to kill the process with -9 ================================================================ [root@fixx /root]# vgscan -d <1> lvm_get_iop_version -- CALLED <22> lvm_check_special -- CALLED <22> lvm_check_special -- LEAVING <1> lvm_get_iop_version -- AFTER ioctl ret: 0 <1> lvm_get_iop_version -- LEAVING with ret: 10 <1> lvm_lock -- CALLED <22> lvm_check_special -- CALLED <22> lvm_check_special -- LEAVING ================================================================ The above never returns aswell and i am even unable to kill the process with -9 I only have one 20 Gig drive on the system with the following partition table ================================================================ Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1020 8193118+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 1021 2491 11815807+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1021 1148 1028128+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 1149 1187 313236 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda7 1188 1200 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda8 1201 1213 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda9 1214 1226 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda10 1227 1239 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda11 1240 1241 16033+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda12 1242 1254 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda13 1255 1267 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda14 1268 1280 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda15 1281 1293 104391 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda16 1294 2491 9622903+ 8e Linux LVM ================================================================ The reason i have so many partitions is as i would be using raw devices for an oracle database on this system. I am using LVM 1.0.4 on Kernel 2.4.2-2. I cannot use LVM 1.0.5 as it does not compile with the above mentioned kernel and the reason i am stuck with this kernel is because of Oracle support issues. Any help would be appreciated at this point as i dont know how to move further on this.
