I also don't see the device in /dev/mapper for the volume group, which was called vm1disk. I tried "makedev /dev" to no avail. I tried importing the volume group but it can't find it. Any ideas? 03:58 < cilkay> The dm-mod module is loaded. 03:59 < cilkay> The disk is /dev/sda, which is a SCSI hardware RAID 5 set. 04:08 < adminace> doh, can't really give you any advice except my simpathy 04:09 -!- movement [~moz@82.152.176.17] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 04:12 -!- adminace is now known as thelsdj 04:17 < chrish01> cilkay, was the partition by chance a lvm snapshot? 04:18 < chrish01> i had a lvm snapshot domain that crashed, and the snapshot was unrecoverable 04:18 < cilkay> no 04:18 < cilkay> I read scary stories about what happens when volumes that contain snapshots fill up.

I have another working 10.2 system here with LVM and it doesn't either. 04:32 < chrish01> hrmm, i wonder where it calls pv/vg/lv stuff on boot 04:37 < cilkay> chrish01, rpm -ql lvm2 doesn't report anything that looks like a daemon to me. 04:37 < chrish01> debian has /etc/init.d/lvm, which does all the init stuff you are talking about 04:37 < chrish01> i believe redhat is similar (but not sure) 04:38 < cilkay> I'll ask on #mandriva tomorrow. Very late here... eyes are getting heavy, brain getting slow. G'nite. 04:39 < chrish01> good luck 04:42 < thelsdj> if i don't want to do a CoW volume but just want to do a straight copy of another one, is there a command for that or should i just create and then dd? 04:45 < chrish01> your milage with dd might be scary 04:45 < chrish01> dd assumes weird things with partition tables iirc 04:45 < chrish01> but dd_rescue might work, i havent tried that yet 04:46 < thelsdj> ok so maybe mount both and do a cp or rsync 04:46 < chrish01> thelsdj, ive done "cp -R --no-dereference -p mnt1/ mnt2/" before with good results 04:47 < cilkay> chrish01, from dmesg on that server: megaraid: invalid partition on this disk on channel 0 04:47 < cilkay> ouch! 04:47 < chrish01> cilkay, you have raid, and your using lvm? 04:47 < cilkay> The machine reboots and works fine. 04:47 < cilkay> yes 04:47 < cilkay> Is that a problem? 04:47 < chrish01> naw, just curious 04:47 < cilkay> Shouldn't be a problem. 04:47 < chrish01> we have a raid5 here with lvm, but its crappy 3ware raid 04:48 < cilkay> This is crappy DELL RAID:) 04:48 < chrish01> ive just noticed really weird things with hardware raid 04:49 < cilkay> I'm so sick of computers sometimes. I think I'm going to become a chef or something, just to get away from the damned things. 04:51 < ijuz_> the chef gets the orderings from a computer 04:51 < chrish01> awesome! 04:51 < chrish01> food is very good in my book 04:51 < chrish01> although, computers dont always mix. just look at Bender from futurama 04:51 < chrish01> err *computers and food* 04:52 * chrish01 totally blew that joke 04:53 < cilkay> ijuz_, you just had to spoil my fantasy, didn't you? 04:53 < cilkay> :) 04:54 < ijuz_> cilkay: sorry... you could open a computers-out restaurant 04:56 < chrish01> cook everything on AMD K62's 04:56 < chrish01> thats some furious heat 05:00 < ijuz_> better get some ia64 or intel prescot 05:01 < chrish01> nothing burns hotter than old school amd 05:01 < chrish01> i could heat a house on that 05:05 < cilkay> From Dell support: A warning message is encountered when a logical disk is configured without a partition.
