Hello! After installing a new disk and moving one other disk from master to slave I cant get my VG back online. Im running 2.4.19 with the 1.0.5 tools When vgchange -ay runs at boot up I get this error: Trying to vfree() bad address (40176008) Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c printing eip: c0125b04 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c0125b04>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010006 eax: 00c61054 ebx: 0805f1e8 ecx: 00000000 edx: c100001c esi: 00000000 edi: 00000206 ebp: cef85000 esp: cf053b84 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process vgchange (pid: 127, stackpage=cf053000) Stack: cef850c0 0805f1e8 00042f40 cef85000 d084a186 0805f1e8 00000000 cef85000 cf052000 00000000 cef854c4 00000000 000042f5 d0849345 00000000 00000000 00000000 fffffffa 00000000 cef858f8 4004fe0a 00000000 d0848c2d 00000000 Call Trace: [<d084a186>] [<d0849345>] [<d0848c2d>] [<d084ece0>] [<c010f594>] [<c01df2e1>] [<c011eea2>] [<c011f3ee>] [<c0108660>] [<c018adf1>] [<c0197403>] [<c0196d60>] [<c018c0d4>] [<c018c132>] [<c018c487>] [<c018c8bd>] [<c0196d60>] [<c01097ed>] [<d08475a8>] [<c01274f4>] [<c0127306>] [<c011e896>] [<c011e8e3>] [<c011ea7e>] [<c010f6f4>] [<c0121cd4>] [<c0121d01>] [<c011e902>] [<c0134b94>] [<c012d1e2>] [<c0164cda>] [<c012c315>] [<c012c22a>] [<c0138847>] [<c010856f>] Code: 2b 59 0c 89 d8 31 d2 f7 76 18 89 c3 8b 41 14 89 44 99 18 89 I tried running a vgscan -d and I got this: <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 ..and it hangs there I managed to get everything back online if I removed the new disk and moved the otherone back from slave to master.
