The code has not been optimised for large numbers of LVs. Use the latest dm/lvm2 versions for a start as there's a memory leak in your libdevmapper. Each device device uses up a fixed amount of (unswappable) kernel memory, and when all your memory is used out you can't have any more devices. Use standard diagnostic tools to work out which limit you're hitting. (top; ps; slabtop; sysreq; strace etc.) Alasdair _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
