I'm running LVM (version 1 with 1.0.7 tools) on a 2.4 system (2.4.24-pre1, recently upgraded to 2.4.25-pre4). When the initrd boots (/ is an LVM filesystem, /boot is a standard block device) I see lvm -- lvm_blk_ioctl: unknown cmd 0x5310 which I guess is something to do with mounting the ramdisk. But at other times I have noticed that the machine will lock up; I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem but lately it seems to be related to disk activity. I turned off screen blanking before the most recent crash and saw no kernel oops, but a couple of repetitions of lvm -- lvm_blk_ioctl: unknown cmd 0x801c6d02 Is it possible that this is some sort of reasonable ioctl? Is it possible that this is what's crashing the machine? How can I find out what the system is trying do (and maybe even why)? I don't see any reports of exactly this problem through google, so I'm pretty lost. jason -- http://panix.com/~jasonp?BabyPictures _______________________________________________ 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/
