Hi, When I do pvcreate, I get deluged with "pvcreate /dev/sdf: close failed: Bad file descriptor" messages. I need to explicity open another session to kill the previous pvcreate instance to get out of this situation. On the same system, pvcreate another device succeeds. Distro: RHEL 4.0 GA version version LVM version: 2.00.31 (2004-12-12) version Library version: 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03) version Driver version: 4.3.0 :~ # dd if=/dev/sdf of=/dev/null bs=1k count=2 2+0 records in 2+0 records out :~ # dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/null bs=1k count=2 2+0 records in 2+0 records out # pvcreate /dev/sde pvcreate Physical volume "/dev/sde" successfully created # pvcreate /dev/sdf pvcreate /dev/sdf: close failed: Bad file descriptor pvcreate /dev/sdf: close failed: Bad file descriptor pvcreate /dev/sdf: close failed: Bad file descriptor pvcreate /dev/sdf: close failed: Bad file descriptor Same messages till I kill pvcreate explicitly. I see that lvmdiskscan does NOT list /dev/sdf but does list /dev/sde Note: I did a vgscan/pvscan explicitly after doing a "make install" of the built 2.00.31 sources. When I downgrade the lvm version (say: 2.00.15), make and make install -- everything seems to work find and I am able to do a PV on both sde and sdf. And I am able to see both devices in lvmdiskscan output. Any idea on what's happening here?
