Hi, just installed a 2.4.20 Linux box (Debian woody) with a Promise FastTrak 100TX2 ATA Raid (2 mirrored disk). I used lvm (1.0.4) to create Physical Volumes on /dev/ataraid/d0px (x=1,2), configured a volume group, logical volumes and installed some software. Everything seems to work fine. But after a reboot I noticed that lvm used to write to the raw disk partitions (/dev/hdex (x=1,2)) that constituted one of the mirrors of the ATA Raid /dev/ataraid/d0px. (vgdisplay, lvdisplay ... displayed /dev/hdex rather than /dev/ataraid/..) Obviously vgscan had dedected the lvm signature on the raw disk partititions. Needless to say that it results in a big mess when lvm writes to one of the mirrored disks behind the back of the raid controller. Is there an obvious way to install lvm in such a way that it does use /dev/ataraid/ in favor of the raw disks? Thanks for any hint, Thomas _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
