Hi, I'm using LVM 1.0.7 on Linux 2.4.22 (Mandrake 9.2). I'm triyng to setup a VG build on RAID 1 partitions. When the parition is added to the VG, half of it space mysteriously disapear. for example: my RAID 1 partitions are /dev/md/7 and /dev/md/8 and are about 128Mb size. [root@fw root]# pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/md/7" is in no VG [125.38 MB] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/md/8" is in no VG [125.38 MB] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part13" of VG "lvm1" [17 GB / 16.97 GB free] pvscan -- total: 3 [17.28 GB] / in use: 1 [17.04 GB] / in no VG: 2 [250.75 MB] I create one VG using one of the RAID 1 partitions: [root@fw root]# vgcreate secured /dev/md/7 vgcreate -- INFO: using default physical extent size 32 MB vgcreate -- INFO: maximum logical volume size is 2 Terabyte vgcreate -- doing automatic backup of volume group "secured" vgcreate -- volume group "secured" successfully created and activated The size of the partition get shrink by half: [root@fw root]# pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/md/7" of VG "secured" [64 MB / 64 MB free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/md/8" is in no VG [125.38 MB] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part13" of VG "lvm1" [17 GB / 16.97 GB fr pvscan -- total: 3 [17.28 GB] / in use: 2 [17.16 GB] / in no VG: 1 [125.38 MB] Is this a known/solved problem? Did I made a mistake? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards. -- R.Y.
