Hi, I've got a 2.6.18-rc5-mm1 kernel on an Dual processor Xeon 550mhz system running Debian unstable, updated today. I've got a pair of 120gb disks mirrored using md, setup so that the single partition on the disks is /dev/md0. I've got a PV setup on there, with a couple of LVs, which then have ext3 filesystems on them, mounted as /home and /local respectively. I just removed another LV which I didn't need anymore of around 25G in size. I'd like to now lvextend one of my two remaining LVs to then beable to re-size the ext3 filesystem for more space. But I get: # lvextend -v -L +1g /dev/data_vg/home_lv Finding volume group data_vg Archiving volume group "data_vg" metadata (seqno 16). Extending logical volume home_lv to 52.00 GB Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/data_vg" (seqno 17). Found volume group "data_vg" Found volume group "data_vg" Loading data_vg-home_lv table device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Failed to suspend home_lv My details: # lvm version LVM version: 2.02.06 (2006-05-12) Library version: 1.02.08 (2006-07-17) Driver version: 4.8.0 # vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree data_vg 1 3 0 wz--n- 111.79G 24.79G # pvs --segments PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree Start SSize /dev/md0 data_vg lvm2 a- 111.79G 24.79G 0 10240 /dev/md0 data_vg lvm2 a- 111.79G 24.79G 10240 7680 /dev/md0 data_vg lvm2 a- 111.79G 24.79G 17920 2816 /dev/md0 data_vg lvm2 a- 111.79G 24.79G 20736 1280 /dev/md0 data_vg lvm2 a- 111.79G 24.79G 22016 256 /dev/md0 data_vg lvm2 a- 111.79G 24.79G 22272 6345 # lvs --segments LV VG Attr #Str Type SSize home_lv data_vg -wi-ao 1 linear 40.00G home_lv data_vg -wi-ao 1 linear 11.00G local_lv data_vg -wi-ao 1 linear 30.00G local_lv data_vg -wi-ao 1 linear 5.00G test data_vg -wi-a- 1 linear 1.00G In my dmesg log I'm seeing the following: device-mapper: table: 253:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Any hints on what I need to do here? I can create a test LV (as shown above) but I can't extend either LV which already exists.
