Greetings,
I am attempting my first usage of the LVM, on a fresh install of Fedora Core 2 --> kernel: 2.6.5-1.358.
I have the following rpm installed for LVM: lvm2-2.00.15-2
I have used: pvcreate /dev/hdb and pvcreate /dev/hdc
then I entered: vgcreate vg1 /dev/hdb /dev/hdc ---> output was: "Volume group "vg1" successfully
created"
vgdisplay outputs:
--- Volume group --- VG Name vg1 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 14 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 255 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 Max PV 255 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 372.62 GB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 95390 Alloc PE / Size 10 / 40.00 MB Free PE / Size 95380 / 372.58 GB VG UUID irEjOq-3bSd-Af3N-1C97-M5c2-RgxP-mWdriv ____________________________________________________________
output of lsmod:
Module Size Used by snd_mixer_oss 13824 0 snd 38372 1 snd_mixer_oss soundcore 6112 1 snd autofs4 10624 0 sunrpc 101064 1 3c59x 30376 0 ipt_state 1536 9 iptable_filter 2048 1 iptable_nat 17452 0 ip_conntrack 24968 2 ipt_state,iptable_nat ip_tables 13440 3 ipt_state,iptable_filter,iptable_nat floppy 47440 0 sg 27552 0 scsi_mod 91344 1 sg dm_mod 33184 0 ohci_hcd 14748 0 button 4504 0 battery 6924 0 asus_acpi 8472 0 ac 3340 0 ipv6 184288 12 ext3 102376 2 jbd 40216 1 ext3
module: dm_mod is present...i've been told that is important.
Now here is where the problems start:
root@server :] lvcreate -l 500 vg1 -n samba device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument Couldn't load device 'vg1-samba'. Failed to activate new LV.
But when i type: lvdisplay I get the following:
--- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg1/samba VG Name vg1 LV UUID TTLXfg-dVXq-NmIP-kUKg-sZUw-46fr-nZCCOF LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 1.95 GB Current LE 500 Segments 1 Allocation next free (default) Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:0
so if the LV is ACTIVE, why do the errors occur??
This one really has me stumped...any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
