Hello group ! I would really appreciate it, if someone with more knowledge than me could confirm, if my setup is ok. I have (at home) the following setup for my data discs: 2x 40 GB RAID1 --> /dev/md0 2x 80 GB RAID1 --> /dev/md1 2x160 GB RAID1 --> /dev/md2 These are part of volume group vg00, consisting of 9 logical volumes lv00...lv09 Now i set up crypt devices with cryptsetup and named these crypt devices clv00...clv09. So my directory /dev/mapper looks like: brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 10 2004-11-18 22:54 clv00 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 11 2004-11-18 22:54 clv01 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 12 2004-11-18 22:54 clv02 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 13 2004-11-18 22:54 clv03 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 14 2004-11-18 22:54 clv04 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 15 2004-11-18 22:54 clv05 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 16 2004-11-18 22:54 clv06 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 17 2004-11-18 22:54 clv07 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 18 2004-11-18 22:54 clv08 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 19 2004-11-18 22:54 clv09 crw------- 1 root root 10, 63 2004-06-24 17:42 control brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 20 2004-11-18 22:54 swap0 brw-r----- 1 root root 253, 21 2004-11-18 22:54 swap1 brw------- 1 root root 253, 0 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv00 brw------- 1 root root 253, 1 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv01 brw------- 1 root root 253, 2 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv02 brw------- 1 root root 253, 3 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv03 brw------- 1 root root 253, 4 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv04 brw------- 1 root root 253, 5 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv05 brw------- 1 root root 253, 6 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv06 brw------- 1 root root 253, 7 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv07 brw------- 1 root root 253, 8 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv08 brw------- 1 root root 253, 9 2004-11-18 22:53 vg00-lv09 These crypt devices are mounted and presented via Samba. In fact, everything is working fine and out of the box. The "problem" is: When i try to extend one logical volume, i have to do it this way: 1) unmount the device on server and client side 2) stop samba 3) lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg00/lv00 # not clv00 ! 4) e2fsck resize2fs /dev/mapper/clv00-f /dev/mapper/clv00 # now the crypto device ! 5) resize2fs /dev/mapper/clv00 # again the crypto device 6) mount 7) finish What i'm a bit afraid of is the fact that i once have to touch the crypto device and once the "normal" logical volume. It is working and i have now problems, but is this really the right way and supported ? I could imagine that other people find this configuration interesting too, so maybe this could be an item for the LVM-HOWTO (ie under item 13, recipes) or so. Thanks in advance !
