Hi, OS: Debian Lenny Hypervisor: Xen 3.2-1 kernel: 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 lvm2: 2.02.06-4etch1 lvm-common: 1.5.20 Hardware: IBM x3650 hardware RAID5 on SAS with battery backup I've used LVM2 for years without any issue. I recently diagnosed a problem with a Windows XP virtual machine running on a Debian Lenny Xen dom0. After getting reports of stability problems and unexpected crashes, I restored the VM from a image backup that is known to work. To my surprise, that image also was crashing unexpectingly. After much trial and error, I decided to create a new LV and restore the image to the new LV (rather than using the existing LV). My surprise was even bigger when that turned out to be the solution: the Windows XP VM has been running fine since. Now the daunting (?!) task awaits me to diagnose why one LV is suitable for a Windows XP VM and another no longer is (even though it has been fine for at least half a year). Advise on how I can diagnose potential corruption problems with LVs much appreciated. cheers, Jan _______________________________________________ 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/
