Hello, I am running fileservers with SUSEs SLES10 using lvm2-2.02.02. I noticed that minor numbers are not persitent no matter if I call lvcreate with "-M y" or without it. Whenever a logical volume is deleted and the machine is rebooted all minor numbers above the one of the lv that I deleted deleted are reassigned. This has dramatic consequences if the system servers as a NFS server as I had to learn. Clients (not rebooted) suddenly acces a NFS share say server:/export/A but the contents of A are what server:/export/B really contains because the minor number of A and B changed on the server. So the mount succeeds but you get another NFS share than you mounted. Really ugly. I found this discussion: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lvm-maintainers/2006-July/000690.html So I guess that this bug should have been fixed. Can anyone tell me if this is true, so that minor numbers are really persisent and what version of lvm I need to get this persistence to work correctly?
