If you can, deactivate the affected VG, restart multipath (it should be able to load maps now) and then activate the VG. If this works, then there is something that is causing LVM to claim devices before multipath does. Thanks, Malahal. PS: If you don't have multipath in initrd, LVM *may* claim paths as PV's before the multipath from active root can claim them. Don't have enough info on Fedora13 initrd if this can happen though. -- dm-devel mailing list <a href="dm-devel@redhat.com">dm-devel@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel</a> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
