Hi, Installed linux 2.4.6 + lvm 0.9.1beta7 with the kernel piece build as a module (patched lvm and the kernel, got the user tools from the .deb package of the right version). # pvcreate /dev/sdb # vgcreate -s16 vg1 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target9/lun0/disc (apparently, devfsd confuses lvcreate) # lvcreate -L5g -nusr vg1 # mkfs -m0 /dev/vg1/usr # lvcreate -L5g -nvar vg1 # mkfs -m0 /dev/vg1/var # lvcreate -L24.03g -nhome vg1 # mkfs -m0 /dev/vg1/home Updated /etc/fstab and: # mount -a Migrate data over, rebooted the box which does a: # vgchange -a n grub failed on me as the staging files were on lvm lv's (that is probably a bug as one should be able to boot without /usr), so booted off floppy. Found that I had overlooked the check in /etc/init.d/lvm which fails unless lvm was compiled in (yes, it was docmented but it should probably be a tad smarter ;-) ). # modprobe lvm-mod (I might have had to do a vgscan & vgchange -a y) # mount -a so here is where I was looking for help... I get an I/O error but things come up: # vgck -v vgck -- locking logical volume manager vgck -- finding all volume group(s) vgck -- checking volume group name "vg1" vgck -- checking existence of volume group "vg1" vgck -- reading volume group data for "vg1" from lvmtab vgck -- checking volume group consistency of "vg1" in lvmtab vgck -- VGDA of "vg1" in lvmtab is consistent vgck -- reading volume group data for "vg1" from physical volume(s) I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 0 vgck -- checking volume group consistency of "vg1" on physical volume vgck -- VGDA of "vg1" on physical volume is consistent vgck -- unlocking logical volume manager Is this a problem and how do I fix it? This problem did not exist before I rebooted. Thanks in advance, /Allan -- Allan M. Wind email: allanwind mediaone net P.O.
