[linux-lvm] Re: Grow Live GFS volume in clustered environment?

[Eric Adair]

The specific error I'm getting in my system log is:

Oct  4 14:55:24 ftpimg2 lvm[2512]: Volume group for uuid not found:  
qDuA09bdhxxI
RqcN3VRZhCKM1c1aMFx6lZBFD0Rx3RtBTpG0ZdJQXDRj5lBmLUtt

Is it possible to grow live GFS volumes in a clustered environment?  
Or even grow them at all if they are clustered? I am assuming this is  
possible, but I am running into serious roadblocks.

I am trying to grow a live GFS volume in a 2 node cluster. We have 3  
LVM volume groups (1 physical volume each) all mounted to 3 different  
mount points. Everything works great as far as both nodes reading,  
writing, etc to each. Both nodes mount and use each volume  
simultaneously without a hitch.

Now that the volumes are mounted and all in use, I get "error locking  
on node" errors when trying to create new volume groups with new  
physical volumes, or even just adding physical volumes to existing  
logical volume groups. This happens even if I unmount the volume on  
both nodes. I can't even deactivate and reactivate the existing  
volume groups, no matter what I do, without getting the same error.


Am I missing something basic?

	dlm locking, all necessary lvm.conf changes set for cluster locking,  
lvm's set for 2 node
