Maybe it has changed the device mapper name for this device? :- VolGroup00 { id = "4NcUZI-LeMy-MC6H-V3hJ-vRmm-BVK5-OKEi8R" seqno = 3 status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"] extent_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes max_lv = 0 max_pv = 0 physical_volumes { pv0 { id = "Pf0oSr-CTGB-9iGn-42Xz-TYOt-z0DT-t2YUIK" device = "/dev/mapper/pdc_fiagfhabp2" #Hint only status = ["ALLOCATABLE"] pe_start = 384 pe_count = 9535 # 297.969 Gigabytes } } logical_volumes { LogVol00 { id = "7ZvkdR-OZbv-N5T6-aqNW-44io-H2pv-wIgN43" status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"] segment_count = 1 segment1 { start_extent = 0 extent_count = 9472 # 296 Gigabytes type = "striped" stripe_count = 1 # linear stripes = [ "pv0", 0 ] } } LogVol01 { id = "D1PqSj-Giji-IhD3-AtXU-jtFk-hl2D-3fP24h" status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"] segment_count = 1 segment1 { start_extent = 0 extent_count = 62 # 1.9375 Gigabytes type = "striped" stripe_count = 1 # linear stripes = [ "pv0", 9472 ] } } } } Since kernel-2.6.17-1.2139 doesn't get pass the initally device-mapper invocation how can I debug this further so I can submit a bug! --Andrew Gray
