Package: lvm10
Version: 1.1rc1-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I created a new LV with `lvcreate -L 370m -n carbon NoRaid'. I then
used mkreiserfs to create the partition, and mounted it. Then I started
populating the filesystem.
The next thing I know the system is slowing to a halt and I'm getting
loads of reiserfs errors. Within 5 minutes it's kernel panic, game
over.
When the machine came back up, I noticed that two LVM paritions had the
same block device (and all of my LVM paritions were completely shagged,
but we'll ignore that for now):
linux10321:~# lvdisplay /dev/NoRaid/carbon
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/NoRaid/carbon
VG Name NoRaid
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available
LV # 5
# open 0
LV Size 372 MB
Current LE 93
Allocated LE 93
Allocation next free
Read ahead sectors 120
Block device 58:5
linux10321:~# lvdisplay /dev/Mirror/argon
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/Mirror/argon

linux10321:~#
If I lvremove and then re-add the partition, the same thing happens.
And now I've added another LV, but I got this error creating it:
linux10321:/vservers# lvcreate -L 370m -n carbon2 NoRaid
lvcreate -- rounding size up to physical extent boundary
lvcreate -- ERROR "Operation not permitted" opening logical volume
"/dev/NoRaid/carbon2"
And I can't remove it:
linux10321:/vservers# lvremove /dev/NoRaid/carbon2
lvremove -- do you really want to remove "/dev/NoRaid/carbon2"? [y/n]: y
lvremove -- ERROR "lv_release(): LV number" releasing logical volume
"/dev/NoRaid/carbon2"
But apparently it's OK, because it doesn't really exist:
linux10321:/vservers# lvdisplay -v /dev/NoRaid/carbon2
lvdisplay -- logical volume "/dev/NoRaid/carbon2" doesn't exist
Would you like me to send you my /etc/lvmconf/NoRaid.conf ?
Or would I be better off trying EVMS?
