Hello again. I'm now running into another problem: + /sbin/lvm lvcreate --permission r --snapshot /dev/Sys/Home --name Home-Backup_Snapshot --extents 15%ORIGIN Internal error: Maps lock 14004224 < unlock 14266368 Logical volume "Home-Backup_Snapshot" created What does this "Internal error" mean? Did it actually cause any harm? I'm confused, because it then goes on to say that the LV was created and I've also been able to mount "Home-Backup_Snapshot" (it's ext4, if it matters). --($ ~)-- sudo /sbin/lvm version LVM version: 2.02.70(2) (2010-07-06) Library version: 1.02.52 (2010-07-06) Driver version: 4.17.0 --($ ~)-- uname -a Linux winnb000546 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 21 07:23:08 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux --($ ~)-- cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 6 lp 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 14 sound/mixer 14 sound/sequencer 14 sound/dsp 14 sound/audio 14 sound/sequencer2 14 sound/adsp 21 sg 29 fb 99 ppdev 116 alsa 128 ptm 136 pts 180 usb 189 usb_device 195 nvidia 251 firewire 252 rtc 253 hidraw 254 bsg Block devices: 259 blkext 7 loop 8 sd 11 sr 65 sd 66 sd 67 sd 68 sd 69 sd 70 sd 71 sd 128 sd 129 sd 130 sd 131 sd 132 sd 133 sd 134 sd 135 sd 254 device-mapper --($ ~)-- cat /proc/misc 58 device-mapper 59 rfkill 130 watchdog 235 autofs 229 fuse 60 network_throughput 61 network_latency 62 cpu_dma_latency 1 psaux 228 hpet 231 snapshot 227 mcelog 63 vga_arbiter --($ ~)-- ls -la /dev/mapper/control crw------- 1 root root 10, 58 Aug 25 07:10 /dev/mapper/control Cheers, Alexander _______________________________________________ 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/
