Hi,
I just recently set up an LVM and now I'm into big trouble.
The lvm partition that I have is completely unresponsive, when I try to
access it, the kernel just hangs. I have quite a bit of data on there so
if anyone knows how I can get this back up, it would be absolutely
great.
I was using kernel 2.4.22. I created one phyiscal volume /dev/hda10,
added it to the volume group data and created a logical volume datalv
over the whole space. Then I upgraded to kernel 2.6.2 (Debian testing)
and wanted to add another physical volume.
I created the PV on /dev/hda10 and noticed that it was lvm2 while the
older one is lvm1. So I converted lvm1 to lvm2 and added the PV o the VG
data and increased the size of the LV.
I was running reiserfs, so I resized the partition. It did not want to
unmount for some reason so I resized it life (it is supported). That all
worked just fine.
Now, I even read some files from that partition but when I tried to
write something, it all crashed. When I tried to access the partition in
any way, it would not work. It was already written down in fstab and
mounts fine but any process that accesses the mount point seems to get
into a deadlock.
I think at the time of the write attempt, something crashed. I found the
following output in my logs:

But I am not 100% certain it is related to the problem, as now when I
try to access the partition, it just hangs and I don't get an error
anymore.
And reiserfsck just quits and gives me no output. I think something is
seriously messed up here and I think it is lvm. When I do a vgdisplay, I
can see that the vg is way to full. I had just added the new pv and it
is already completely filled up even though df still shows the correct usage
level.
Please help!
Here some assorted output:
