Hi there, I'm using LVM 1.0.6 on 2.4.20 with devfs 1.99.17. I used LVM on 2 disks, with two different VG's. It wasn't possible for me to create an LV as soon as it reached minor number 16. I seem to have deleted the output of this command, but it was "No such device or address". I deleted the other VG and it's LV's and recreated the LV and it worked. My setup is this: 1 on-board SCSI (Adaptec 7880) controller with one disk - sda. 1 PCI Adaptec 2940UW controller with one disk - sdb. sda, Like sdb has 2 partitions. PV's were created on the second partitions. sda2 was rootvg, sdb2 was vg00. A couple of logical volumes with minor numbers 0-3 where on vg00, the rest was on rootvg. pvdisplay -v /dev/sda2 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 VG Name rootvg PV Size 8.45 GB [17719695 secs] / NOT usable 16.19 MB [LVM: 130 KB] PV# 1 PV Status available Allocatable yes Cur LV 12 PE Size (KByte) 16384 Total PE 539 Free PE 275 Allocated PE 264 PV UUID l7p6er-GiqY-mYAW-Awsi-zB0h-CFUp-o9fga6 I wonder why 16.19MB would not be usable, since system/kernel/* logging doesn't report anything about failing disks. PE size is 16MB. Thanks, Bas. _______________________________________________ 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/
