Hi all LVM:ers... (Hmm .. almost sound like lamers ;-) ) I have upgraded a Mandrake 9.2 system to Mandrake 10.0 Community. The lvm1 volumes was imported correctly. When I had the volumes imported and ready I converted them into lvm2 Now pvscan takes a lot of time. I can't remember if it took a long time to pvscan before I converted the volumes. At least I know for sure pvscan ran quite fast on MDK 9.2 Still pvscan takes a long time to complete +1 minute and on my other systems running lvm1 or lvm2 it takes seconds. Have I done something wrong? The /dev/md10 and /dev/md20 are soft mirrors. Also the summary of GB seem to be wrong. Output from pvscan -v below Yes I know. I like partitions or at least liked them. ;-) I will rebuild this to fewer partitions in the future I am in progress of doing that for the moment. pvscan -v Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices Wiping internal cache Walking through all physical volumes ->>> Here it takes a LOT of time PV /dev/md10 VG mirr_vg01 lvm2 [18,97 GB / 1,84 GB free] PV /dev/md20 VG mirr_vg01 lvm2 [24,00 GB / 4,19 GB free] PV /dev/hda5 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [29,25 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hdc5 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [8,50 GB / 2,41 GB free] PV /dev/hda6 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [8,06 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hdc7 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [3,44 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hdb2 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [24,00 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hdd7 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [7,97 GB / 4,81 GB free] PV /dev/hdd8 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [7,97 GB / 1,19 GB free] PV /dev/hdd9 VG work_vg01 lvm2 [1,22 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hda2 VG burn_vg01 lvm2 [29,30 GB / 96,00 MB free] PV /dev/hdc2 lvm2 [24,03 GB] PV /dev/hda3 lvm2 [29,30 GB] PV /dev/hdc6 lvm2 [8,55 GB] PV /dev/hdd2 lvm2 [2,49 GB] PV /dev/hdb3 lvm2 [24,03 GB] PV /dev/hdd3 lvm2 [2,49 GB] PV /dev/hdb4 lvm2 [42,93 GB] PV /dev/hdd5 lvm2 [8,00 GB] PV /dev/hdd6 lvm2 [8,00 GB] Total: 20 [164,36 GB] / in use: 11 [14,53 GB] / in no VG: 9 [149,83 GB] Best regards /Tomas _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
