[linux-lvm] error message - "lvm -- lvm_blk_ioctl: unknown cmd 0x540f"

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

This message just tells you that some program does an ioctl with
an unsoported command on LVM.
_Very_ unlikely the reason of your crashes.

You don't give details about your HW configuration so I guess that
the likely reason of your crash is heavy load on 9 disks exposing
an IDE/SCSI problem (i.e. SCSI termination).
