Package: lvm10
Version: 1.0.7-3
Kernel module: LVM 1.0.5+ (22/07/2002)
lvm10: 1.0.7-3
lvm-common: 1.5.8
I used Knoppix 3.2 to boot and create the volume group (VG) "vg0" and then
two logical volumes (LVs) "usr" (1Gbyte) and "var" (10 Gbyte) like this:
pvcreate /dev/sda6
vgcreate vg0 /dev/sda6
lvcreate -L1024 -nusr vg0
lvcreate -L10240 -nvar vg0
mke2fs /dev/vg0/usr
tune2fs -j /dev/vg0/usr
mke2fs /dev/vg0/var
tune2fs -j /dev/vg0/var
then rebooted gently. Strangely, after the reboot Knoppix's vgscan did not
find /dev/vg0/usr but only /dev/vg0/var and when writing to it, a
multitude of serious (fatal) ext3 filesystem errors occured (like
out-of-bound etc):
EXT3-fs error(device lvm(58,0)): ext3_ne_block: Allocating block in system
zone - block = ....
EXT3-fs error(device lvm(58,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory
...: inode out of bound - offset=0, inode = ..., rec_len=12, name_len=1
Google has very, very few error reports like those, so it is extremely
rare.
Then I created /dev/vg0/usr again and reformatted (mkfs.ext2 -j)
/dev/vg0/var. Everything works great now, but I am pretty much intimidated
since this is a production machine.
I do not know how a LV can disappear, and then another LV gives back
corrupt sector parameters AND recreating a LV corrects the VG
"misalignment", but I wanted you to know about it. Everything seems to
work now, anyway.
Cheers
Mark

lvm version 1 has been removed from Debian etch and unstable.
Please migrate to version 2 (package lvm2). If the bug you reported
against lvm10 still exists in lvm2, please open a new bug or let me
know. Thanks.
