Dear List,
i'm having some problems with lvm 0.9. I'm testing it on a newly
installed debian 2.2.
After downloading linux-2.4.0-test10 and applying both
linux-2.4.0-test10-VFS-lock.patch and lvm-0.9-2.4.0-test10.patch, i
configure my kernel for lvm support, compile and install the
userspace-tools and boot my new kernel.
Next, i run vgscan, create a PV and a VG with just the one PV. Then i
create some LV's in my VG, create filesystems on them, mount them and
copy some data to and fro. So far so good.
Now here comes the trouble: i tried to add another PV to my VG with
vgextend, after successfully creating my PV. So i do
vgextend /dev/volumes /dev/hda6, and i get a kernel oops and vgextend
segfaults.

Playing around a bit more i notice that vgdisplay tells me that the
newly added PV is part of my VG, but i cannot use that space to create
new LV's.
The output of "vgdisplay -v" is attatched to this mail.
"lvcreate -n test -l 293 /dev/volumes"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
lvcreate -- only 246 free physical extents in volume group "volumes"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
any ideas?
