[linux-lvm] LVM on IA64

[Stefan Fent]

Hi,

On IA64 lvcreate segfaults when 'lv_allocated_le'
is bigger than 1 (mostly 125).
I need information about where this value is created, and what it is good
for, as this seem to happen randomly.

It segfaults in vg_cfgrestore() at:

if ( ( vg->lv[l]->lv_current_pe =
                   malloc ( vg->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le * \
                            sizeof ( pe_t))) == NULL) {


where vg->lv[l]->lv_allocated_le==125
gdb backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x20000000001a0fd1 in chunk_alloc () from /lib/libc.so.6.1

#4  0x4000000000008420 in main (argc=3, argv=0x80000fffffffb728) at
libio.h:633
(gdb)

any help appreciated.

Kernel is 2.4.7 with LVM-drivers 0.9.1_beta7
lvm is 1.0.1-rc2

Mit freundlichen Grüssen / With kind regards,
