Hi,
OK, here goes the
story, hope someone can help (disclaimer, I am relatively new to linux and VERY
new to LVM).
Was using linux
kernel 2.4.30 with LVM2 - initialised PV, created VG no problem. Couldnt create
LV due to device mapper. Turns out that for some reason it didnt compile into
the kernel correctly. Tried recompiling a few times, still no
go.
Thought, blow it,
try 2.6 so compiled and booted off 2.6.11.8.
Everything seemed
ok, except I couldnt create the LV due to a read/write error. Search archives,
no luck.
Decided to remove VG
and recreate it.
Removed VG got
read/write errors.
Now, I cant do
anything getting "incorrect metadata area header checksum"
messages.
pvscan
says:
"incorrect metadata
area header checksum"
"incorrect metadata
area header checksum"
"incorrect metadata
area header checksum"
"incorrect metadata
area header checksum"
PV
/dev/sda7
lvm2 [198.35 GB]
Total: 1 [198.35 GB]
/ in use: 0 [0 ] /in no VG: 1 [198.35 GB]
So, I have 2
problems:
1. resolving this
error and initialising the PV and creating the VG again,
2. Creating the
LV.
help!
:P
thanks
