Hi I have a problem with device-mapper and/or lvm. "vgchange -ay" outputs: root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# vgchange -ay device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument 6 logical volume(s) in volume group "vgroot" now active and "dmesg | tail" outputs: root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# dmesg | tail [12363.172000] device-mapper: table: 254:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed [12363.172000] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table [12363.256000] device-mapper: table: device 3:2 too small for target **** above lines repeats 5 more times, the only difference is the number after "table 254: ". therefore: the error seems to be "device 3:2 too small for target" and "pvs -o +dev_size" prints incorrect dev_size. how do i fix this? -- ----------------------------------- Dave Fear :: david@dfear.info Skype: dpfear GPG: key ID - 805B3D54 GPG: server - wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net _______________________________________________ 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/
