[linux-lvm] Error with 2.5.50-dm-2; vanilla OK

[Richard Chan]

Hi, I'm getting an error with 2.5.50-dm2 but vanilla 2.5.50 is OK.

When I try lvm vgchange -ay I get the error messages

Dec  9 21:49:54 dyndns12 kernel: device-mapper: allocating minor 0.
Dec  9 21:49:54 dyndns12 kernel: device-mapper: device /dev/hdb7 too 
small for target
Dec  9 21:49:54 dyndns12 kernel: device-mapper: internal error adding 
target to table
Dec  9 21:49:54 dyndns12 kernel: device-mapper: destroying table

3 of 4 LVs in the VG are OK

If I use vanilla 2.5.50 the LVs are created OK
