Hello,
after upgrading to Slackware 10.0, I ran into a problem with LVM2.
system: Slackware Linux 10.0 kernel: 2.6.7-mm5 Official slackware packages: device-mapper-1.00.17 lvm2-2.00.15
Problem: lvm vgscan runs, eats up more and more memory until it gets OOM-killed.
When run, it says:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Ignoring additional label on /dev/hda11 at sector 1
and keeps on munching the disk.
(/dev/hda11 is a LVM partition)
I'm not sure how to debug it. strace shows n * (read,ioctl(BLKBSZGET),_llseek) and a few brk's occasionally..... No errors get logged or displayed, except the fishy notice about additional label.
When I use the OLD lvm2 binary (2.00.08), it works just fine (was running the same kernel and same version of device-mapper before, too).
Neither of the lvm packages have any patches applied to them. Slackware's package is ./configured with --enable-static_link and --with-lvm1=internal. My old package was configured with --with-lvm1=shared.
Any hints would be welcome.
