Bug#578272: linux-image-2.6.32-3-686: Enabling Host Protected Area leads to LVM failure
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-9
Severity: normal
Hi,
Going from 2.6.30 to 2.6.32, I can no longer mount my LVM-based
partition on my secondary harddisk, I get the following error when I try
to run e.g. vgchange:
nighthawk~$ LANG=C sudo vgchange -a y
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "nighthawk" now active
device-mapper: resume ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Unable to resume data-data (254:3)
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "data" now active
nighthawk~$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/data-data /mnt
mount: /dev/mapper/data-data already mounted or /mnt busy
This is the corresponding kernel error in syslog:
Apr 18 15:17:02 nighthawk kernel: [ 20.713326] device-mapper: table: 254:3: hdc too small for target: start=384, len=78135296, dev_size=71762930
It turns out this is because contrary to linux-image-2.6.30-2-686,
2.6.32 does not disable HPA:
2.6.30:
Apr 18 15:11:09 nighthawk kernel: [ 3.727599] hdc: max request size: 128KiB

Apr 18 15:17:02 nighthawk kernel: [ 3.769639] hdc: cache flushes supported
Going back to an earlier 2.6.32 (like 2.6.32-trunk-686) does not help, I
need to revert to 2.6.30 (did not check 2.6.31).
