Thank you. However, I had already resolved the issue (and it was an issue) of needing to define the 6-character devices. Here is my current /proc/dasd/devices. It is the dasdan and dasdao that I cannot get attached to my LVM. 0200(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0201(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 597240 blocks, 2332 MB 0205(ECKD) at ( 94: 8) is dasdc : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0206(ECKD) at ( 94: 12) is dasdd : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0210(ECKD) at ( 94: 16) is dasde : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0211(ECKD) at ( 94: 20) is dasdf : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0212(ECKD) at ( 94: 24) is dasdg : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0213(ECKD) at ( 94: 28) is dasdh : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0214(ECKD) at ( 94: 32) is dasdi : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0215(ECKD) at ( 94: 36) is dasdj : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0216(ECKD) at ( 94: 40) is dasdk : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0217(ECKD) at ( 94: 44) is dasdl : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0218(ECKD) at ( 94: 48) is dasdm : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0219(ECKD) at ( 94: 52) is dasdn : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 021a(none) at ( 94: 56) is dasdo : unknown 021b(none) at ( 94: 60) is dasdp : unknown 021c(none) at ( 94: 64) is dasdq : unknown 021d(none) at ( 94: 68) is dasdr : unknown 021e(none) at ( 94: 72) is dasds : unknown 021f(none) at ( 94: 76) is dasdt : unknown 0220(ECKD) at ( 94: 80) is dasdu : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0221(ECKD) at ( 94: 84) is dasdv : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0222(ECKD) at ( 94: 88) is dasdw : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0223(ECKD) at ( 94: 92) is dasdx : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0224(ECKD) at ( 94: 96) is dasdy : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB 0225(ECKD) at ( 94:100) is dasdz : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0226(ECKD) at ( 94:104) is dasdaa : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0227(ECKD) at ( 94:108) is dasdab : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0228(ECKD) at ( 94:112) is dasdac : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0229(ECKD) at ( 94:116) is dasdad : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 022a(none) at ( 94:120) is dasdae : unknown 022b(none) at ( 94:124) is dasdaf : unknown 022c(none) at ( 94:128) is dasdag : unknown 022d(none) at ( 94:132) is dasdah : unknown 022e(none) at ( 94:136) is dasdai : unknown 022f(none) at ( 94:140) is dasdaj : unknown 0230(ECKD) at ( 94:144) is dasdak : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0231(ECKD) at ( 94:148) is dasdal : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0232(ECKD) at ( 94:152) is dasdam : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0233(ECKD) at ( 94:156) is dasdan : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0234(ECKD) at ( 94:160) is dasdao : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB

If dasd shows up multiple times (not only major 94) you are most probably running out of device nodes. In this case you can create new ones using mknod, the major/minor numbers of the dasds can be found in /proc/dasd/devices. like this: mknod /dev/dasdabc b <major> <minor> mknod /dev/dasdabc1 b <major> <minor+1> mknod /dev/dasdabc2 b <major> <minor+2> mknod /dev/dasdabc3 b <major> <minor+3> (no more, we only have 3 partitions and minor+4 belongs to a different volume) with kind regards Carsten Otte IBM Linux Technology Center / Boeblingen lab -- omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est "Kinnear, Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> 16/03/2005 08:47 PM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port To: [email protected] cc: Subject: LVM - maximum PV's?
