For instance, a snapshot that is full would give those errors. You need to tell us what dm-0 is mapped to. Look in /dev/mapper for starters. > [ 268.024593] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST3500320NS SN04 PQ: > 0 ANSI: 5 > [ 268.024900] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdc] 976773168 512-byte logical blocks: (500 > GB/465 GiB) > [ 268.024918] sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 > [ 268.024996] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off > [ 268.025003] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 > [ 268.025046] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, > doesn't support DPO or FUA > [ 268.025377] sdc: sdc1 > [ 268.049853] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk This is normal for your new disk. > [ 335.467482] quiet_error: 3 callbacks suppressed > [ 335.467492] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857584 > [ 335.467540] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857584 > [ 335.467589] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857598 > [ 335.467615] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857598 > [ 335.467647] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 0 > [ 335.467671] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 0 > [ 335.467703] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 1 > [ 335.467734] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857599 > [ 335.467762] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857599 > [ 335.467788] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 104857599 Again, this is on dm-0, not sdc. > raub@strangepork:~$ sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sdc > > Disk /dev/sdc: 60801 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track > Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 > > Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System > /dev/sdc1 0+ 60800 60801- 488384001 8e Linux LVM > /dev/sdc2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty > /dev/sdc3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty > /dev/sdc4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty This is normal, not sure what is has to do with filesystem desciptors. Tell us exactly what you mean by "put a LVM on it". Did you run pvcreate? vgcreate? lvcreate? You might find the output of "pvs" enlightening. That will tell us what PVs you have created. And list /dev/mapper so we know what dm-0 is, and include the output of "lvs". -- Stuart D. Gathman <stuart@bmsi.com> Business Management Systems Inc.
