Hello everbody,
i'm having problems setting up lvm2.
creating a a new vg works fine:
pvcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
vgcreate -s 64M vgEQ51fs /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1
but lvcreate
lvcreate -n lvsapdbQ51sapdata -L 100G vgEQ51fs
rises this dmesg output:
hgesst40:~ # dmesg | tail -n 10
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
bond0: no IPv6 routers present
mtrr: type mismatch for d0000000,1000000 old: uncachable new: write-combining
device-mapper: : dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: error adding target to table
device-mapper: : dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: error adding target to table
doing an mkfs.xfs produces this failure:
hgesst40:~ # mkfs.xfs /dev/vgEQ51fs/lvsapdbQ51sapdata
can't get size of data subvolume
Usage: mkfs.xfs
/* blocksize */ [-b log=n|size=num]
/* data subvol */ [-d agcount=n,agsize=n,file,name=xxx,size=num,
(sunit=value,swidth=value|su=num,sw=num),
[...]
but lvscan find's the volume:
hgesst40:~ # lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/vgEQ51fs/lvsapdbQ51sapdata' [100.00 GB] next free (default)
ACTIVE '/dev/vgOS/lvusrfs' [3.00 GB] next free (default)
[...]
Here're some info's on the system:
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
Service Pack 1
device-mapper-1.00.19-2.2
lvm2-2.00.15-0.8
kernel-smp-2.6.5-7.139
kernel-smp-2.6.5-7.147
Linux hgesst40 2.6.5-7.139-smp #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 15:41:33 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The kernel -139 is running because it's the latest sap certified kernel.
However, creating an ext2 fs on /dev/sdb1 works fine.
hgesst40:~ # mke2fs /dev/sdb1
mke2fs 1.34 (25-Jul-2003)

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 27 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
has anyone an idea, how to solve this issue?
