Last time you kindly helped me resolve this issue on a Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64, lvm 2.02.39-7, kpartx 0.4.8-14+lenny2). This time it's a slightly older system (Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64, lvm 2.02.06-4eth1) but in a rather remote location (at sea). The system is rock solid otherwise and upgrading is quite an undertaking so if at all possible I hope to be able to resolve this issue without upgrading. Any advice you can offer is much appreciated. kind regards, Jan # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% xm.dt1 d -wi-a- 8.10G xm.dt1old d -wi-a- 8.10G xm.dt2 d -wi-ao 12.00G xm.fms d -wi-ao 12.10G xm.w2k d -wi-ao 12.10G xm.wxp d -wi-ao 8.10G xm.wxp-eng d -wi-ao 8.10G xm.wxp-ro d -wi-ao 8.10G # kpartx -l /dev/mapper/d-xm.dt1old d-xm.dt1old1 : 0 16980642 /dev/mapper/d-xm.dt1old 63 # kpartx -d -pp /dev/mapper/d-xm.dt1old # kpartx -l /dev/mapper/d-xm.dt1old d-xm.dt1old1 : 0 16980642 /dev/mapper/d-xm.dt1old 63 # ls -al /dev/mapper total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 620 2012-09-17 23:17 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 5140 2012-09-17 23:17 .. crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 62 2044-01-30 07:04 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 21 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.dt1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 12 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.dt1old brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 22 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.dt2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 15 2012-09-17 23:25 d-xm.fms brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 24 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.fms1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 18 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.w2k brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 25 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.w2k1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 23 2012-09-17 03:40 d-xm.wxp brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 29 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.wxp1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 19 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.wxp--eng brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 27 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.wxp--eng1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 13 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.wxp--ro brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 20 2044-01-30 07:05 d-xm.wxp--ro1 -- Omiha Systems Ltd NEW ZEALAND p +64 9 950 3007 m +64 21 027 51803 m +64 22 103 9151 _______________________________________________ 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/
