Hi all,
Since the announce of lvm2 I used succefuly lvm tools (also with evms tools
before 1.9 ie evms-1.2.1) on my linux hppa box runing a last updated linux-2.4.21-pa8
(+ a very small hack to use generic_ffs()).
Now I try to install lvm2 and dm1.
I so recover last lvm-1.0.7. I configure it and build PATCHES which I apply
against kernel (without VFS-lock). Then I reboot it and install tools:
_no pb_ :-)

I so go further and patch kernel with dm/patches/devicemapper-ioctl.patch
(no VFS-lock) rebuild it wihtout any pb or warning (about dm part :-)) ).
I so install dmsetup tool and reboot with this kernel sucessfully (no pb
to discover vg and lv as lvm1 tools are still installed)
The dmsetup create well special file:
# ll /dev/mapper
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 5 17:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 24576 Aug 5 16:04 ..
crw------- 1 root root 10, 63 Aug 5 17:52 control
:-)
To be care I "vgchange -a n", than compile and install lvm2 tools.
Then I just edit lvm.conf file so that filter only sd disc
filter = [ "a|^/dev/sd|, "r/.*/" ]
[...]
file = /var/log/lvm2.log
level=7
activation=1 # in log section
Unfortunately _vgchange_ failled to recover vg structure:
#vgscan --version
LVM version: 2.00.05 (2003-07-18)
Library version: 1.00.02-ioctl (2003-07-12)
Driver version
4.0.1
#vgscan
Volume group "EvmsLvm" not found
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Wiping internal cache
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Finding all volume groups
Finding volume group "EvmsLvm"
Very strange: it first tell 'Volume group "EvmsLvm" not found' and finaly
'Finding volume group "EvmsLvm"' ?
Vgchange will it tell the true?
#vgchange -a y
too bad:
Out of memory. Requested 2483027988 bytes.
Failed to read extents from /dev/sdc
Unable to find volume group "EvmsLvm"
Any idea?
(As I use full log I join a gz of this lvm2.log)
Thanks in advance for help,
Joel
PS: I do a similar exercise on my ia32 platform (same linux-2.4.21 not pa
specific naturaly) and do not met any pb.
There is anyway a small difference:
on the ia32 I build a vg over a disk slice; on hppa, allover a full disk
(i don't think that it does matter, but just in case?)
