as mentioned in another mail, the device mapper made kept sdc1 busy. in /etc/blkid.tab I found these lines: <device DEVNO="0x0802" TIME="1198055523" UUID="212b4536-513f-4177-8d91-afc2b26be284" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sda2</device> <device DEVNO="0x0811" TIME="1198055523" UUID="83db89c9-88a7-4c09-8026-01a9bd71c757" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb1</device> <device DEVNO="0x0812" TIME="1198055523" UUID="60a371a6-6e24-4a3d-bfe9-d3491f08cd83" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb2</device> <device DEVNO="0x0813" TIME="1198055523" UUID="0d8ec0ca-9670-4e87-a37e-aac3914a7651" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb3</device> <device DEVNO="0x0815" TIME="1198055523" UUID="cf71aa66-2a51-4596-967b-bc12faec5438" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdb5</device> <device DEVNO="0x0821" TIME="1198055523" UUID="51bba5c7-acda-4019-94d8-691103f30616" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sdc1</device> <device DEVNO="0xfd03" TIME="1199870056" UUID="4e4b8361-0c9f-47c5-ac47-34398148d78e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/dm-3</device> The UUID for /dev/sdc1 and /dev/dm-3 are the same, so I remove the last line and rebooted the system. My hope was that the /dev/mapper/... stuff for the sdc disk will disappear, but that was not the case, the removed line appeare again in the /etc/blkid.tab file, /dev/sdc1 still busy, and I only was able to mount /dev/mapper/.... I wonder why this is not happen to the /dev/sdb* partitions. I haven't configure anything related to that intentionally. The sdb and sdc are two disks with each 1.7 TB, it is just that sdb is divided into a lot partitions where sdc is just one large partition. I have no idea why it should but maybe it depends somehow on the size of the partition? I have the disks connected via SCSI to another 10.2 box, there does the /etc/blkid.tab file not exist, and I can just mount /dev/sdc1 there. dm_mod module is loaded on both systems. also a rpm -qf /etc/blkid.tab says file /etc/blkid.tab is not owned by any package. So I am still wondering, why this happens to /dev/sdc but not to /dev/sdb, any idea? cheers Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
