Hi there -- I've googled around and found other folks reporting this problem, but haven't seen a solution. I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or if it's still an open issue... I've got LVM2 set up, and am using snapshots. After a reboot, the master partition is listed with status "inactive Original", and the snapshots as "inactive Snapshot". /dev/mapper/volgrp-master exists, as does /dev/mapper/volgrp-master-real. Attempting to do anything with the master partition results in this message: "device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument" Anyone know 1) What the problem might be? 2) What further diagnostics might be useful to figure out what the problem is? 3) How to fix this?
