I have built a 2.4.19 box w/ lvm 1.1-rc2. When I run a vgscan, it core dumps. When I run pvcreate on a lvm partition, I get a warning message saying that I need to run it w/ -ff. Apparently it thinks the partition is in use with an existing volume group. However, none are defined / created. The debug shows it working on a VG - rootvg. However, that vg doesn't exist. At least not on this install. It used to exist on the previous install. However, the system still thinks it exists somehow. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Here's the debug of the vgscan prior to core:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><22> vg_read_with_pv_and_lv -- CALLED for rootvg <333> vg_check_name -- CALLED with VG: rootvg <4444> lvm_check_chars -- CALLED with name: "rootvg" <4444> lvm_check_chars -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <333> vg_check_name -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <333> vg_read -- CALLED <4444> vg_check_name -- CALLED with VG: rootvg <55555> lvm_check_chars -- CALLED with name: "rootvg" <55555> lvm_check_chars -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <4444> vg_check_name -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <4444> pv_read_all_pv_of_vg -- CALLED with vg_name: "rootvg" <55555> vg_check_name -- CALLED with VG: rootvg <666666> lvm_check_chars -- CALLED with name: "rootvg" <666666> lvm_check_chars -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <55555> vg_check_name -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <4444> pv_read_all_pv_of_vg -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <4444> vg_read_from_pv -- CALLED <55555> pv_check_name -- CALLED with "/dev/sdb2" <666666> lvm_check_chars -- CALLED with name: "/dev/sdb2" <666666> lvm_check_chars -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <55555> pv_check_name -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <55555> pv_read -- CALLED with /dev/sdb2 <666666> pv_check_name -- CALLED with "/dev/sdb2" <7777777> lvm_check_chars -- CALLED with name: "/dev/sdb2" <7777777> lvm_check_chars -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <666666> pv_check_name -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <55555> pv_read -- going to read /dev/sdb2 <666666> lvm_malloc -- CALLED with size 468 <7777777> lvm_realloc -- CALLED with pointer 0, size 468 <7777777> lvm_realloc -- LEAVING with pointer 81538F0 <666666> lvm_malloc -- LEAVING with pointer 81538F0 <666666> lvm_check_dev -- CALLED <7777777> lvm_check_partitioned_dev -- CALLED <88888888> lvm_get_device_type called <88888888> lvm_get_device_type leaving with 1 <7777777> lvm_check_partitioned_dev -- LEAVING with ret: TRUE <666666> lvm_check_dev -- LEAVING with ret: 1 <666666> pv_copy_from_disk -- CALLED <7777777> lvm_malloc -- CALLED with size 516 <88888888> lvm_realloc -- CALLED with pointer 0, size 516 <88888888> lvm_realloc -- LEAVING with pointer 8153AC8 <7777777> lvm_malloc -- LEAVING with pointer 8153AC8 <666666> pv_copy_from_disk -- LEAVING ret = 0x8153ac8 <666666> lvm_free -- CALLED with pointer 81538F0 <666666> lvm_free -- LEAVING <666666> pv_create_name_from_kdev_t -- CALLED with 8:18 <7777777> lvm_check_dev -- CALLED <88888888> lvm_check_partitioned_dev -- CALLED <999999999> lvm_get_device_type called <999999999> lvm_get_device_type leaving with 1 <88888888> lvm_check_partitioned_dev -- LEAVING with ret: TRUE <7777777> lvm_check_dev -- LEAVING with ret: 1 <7777777> lvm_dir_cache -- CALLED <7777777> lvm_dir_cache -- LEAVING with ret: 47 <666666> pv_create_name_from_kdev_t -- LEAVING with dev_name: /dev/sdb2 <666666> system_id_check_exported -- CALLED <666666> system_id_check_exported -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <55555> pv_read -- LEAVING with ret: 0 <55555> lvm_malloc -- CALLED with size 188 <666666> lvm_realloc -- CALLED with pointer 0, size 188 <666666> lvm_realloc -- LEAVING with pointer 8153CD0 <55555> lvm_malloc -- LEAVING with pointer 8153CD0 <55555> vg_copy_from_disk -- CALLED <666666> lvm_malloc -- CALLED with size 2484 <7777777> lvm_realloc -- CALLED with pointer 0, size 2484 <7777777> lvm_realloc -- LEAVING with pointer 8153D90 <666666> lvm_malloc -- LEAVING with pointer 8153D90 Segmentation fault (core dumped) </DIV></BODY></HTML>
