[linux-lvm] Strange...

Hi!

I just wanted to resize /home/ftp...

Here is what happened:

(root kira:/0)~# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/tmp on /tmp type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/usr on /usr type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/var on /var type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/opt on /opt type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/home on /home type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/ftp on /home/ftp type ext2 (ro,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/install on /home/ftp/install type ext2
(rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/ftp2 on /home/ftp2 type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/sys on /sys type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
(root kira:/0)~# umount /home/ftp/install/
(root kira:/0)~# umount /home/ftp
(root kira:/0)~# e2fsadm -L+1G /dev/vgkira/ftp
e2fsadm -- ERROR: "/dev/vgkira/ftp" is mounted on "/home/ftp2"
e2fsadm -- please umount it to resize

(root kira:/0)~# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/tmp on /tmp type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/usr on /usr type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/var on /var type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/opt on /opt type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/home on /home type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/ftp2 on /home/ftp2 type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/vgkira/sys on /sys type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
(root kira:/0)~#

This happened using lvm-0.7 on a 2.2.13 kernel...

Since the last successfull resize operations, I merged 2 VGs. Formerly
my LVs were spread accross 2 PVs, one per harddisk...

...I see this behaviour for the first time now...
...I retried it after a reboot, but the effect is the same...

...or is it too early in the morning and I´d better get some cups of
coffee??? ;-)

Bye for now...

	Ulf.
