Maybe someone can help me. I've been trying to setup new dasd as well as create a LVM for the combination of two volumes. What am I missing? Because when I reboot nothing stays. I have to start all over it seems. I used Yast1 to create LVM after they were formatted. I also issued the mount from Yast1 and add the LVM info to the /etc/fstab file.
Linux Stuff - Formatting dasd on the Linux Machine for 201-203 Make sure that the USER DIRECT dataset has an additon MDISK 201 3390 0001 3338 LN0001 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE MDISK 202 3390 0001 3338 LN0002 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE MDISK 203 3390 0001 3338 LN0003 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE edit /boot/parmfile on the Linux Guest dasd=0100,0101,0200,0201,0202,0203 root=/dev/dasda1 noinitrd dasdfmt -v -l L201 -b 4096 -d cdl -f /dev/dasdd (dasde & dasdf) fdasd /dev/dasdd select n and hit enter twice for the defaults (whole volume) select w to write the VTOC mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/dasdd1 (dasde1 & dasdf1) I created /dev/rtora/lvora under Yast1 as the Logical Volume.... /dev/rtora/lvora /oracle ext2 defaults 1 2 I get this: fsck.ext2: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/rtora/lvora Possibly non-existent or swap device? fsck.ext2 /dev/rtora/lvora failed (status 8)! Run it manually! <-------------reiserfsck, 2001-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x.0k-pre8 ..failed fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it I've been following the example given in the redbooks and such, but it seems as though I'm missing something. Even if I just wanted to create regular ext-2 dasd, why do they disappear when I go to reboot the Linux Guest? --- Legal Disclaimer: The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
