It appears that I have some kind of LVM corruption, and I can't figure out how to locate it. I started getting lots of EXT3 errors in /var/log/messages, relating to lvm devices. On one device in particular, when I tried to copy a large quantity of data to it, I got the following errors: Oct 16 12:19:17 big kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Oct 16 12:21:01 big kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,17)): ext3_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 21856256 Oct 16 12:21:21 big kernel: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,17)): ext3_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 21856280 I first tried reformatting (mkfs) the partition, but afterwards got the same errors. I then tried deleting and recreating the logical volume, reformatting, and copying again, and got the same errors on the brand new volume/filesystem. I suspect that the problem is in the LVM layer, but I'm not aware of any tools that will perform a consistency check on the entire lvm subsystem. Anybody got any ideas? This is lvm-1.0.3-4, stock redhat 7.3 rpm. The raw devices on which the physical extents reside are very large, nearly 2TB each (there are two). Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Carey Jung _______________________________________________ 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/
