Hi folks, I added two disks to my RHEL 5.2 test server. When I run the command "fdisk -l" it takes more than 10 seconds before the prompt comes back and I see only one disk.
# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7832 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 7832 62806117+ 8e Linux LVM Listing under /dev, I see the following: # ls -l sd* brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 0 May 15 16:07 /dev/sda brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 1 May 15 16:10 /dev/sda1 brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 2 May 15 16:07 /dev/sda2 brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 16 May 19 08:40 /dev/sdb brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 May 15 16:07 /dev/sdc Checking the /proc dir I see: # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: 1726-4xx FAStT Rev: 0617 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01 Vendor: IBM Model: 1726-4xx FAStT Rev: 0617 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 02 Vendor: IBM Model: 1726-4xx FAStT Rev: 0617 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 The command "pvdisplay" gives me error on both new drives: # pvdisplay /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/sdc: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 59.90 GB / not usable 22.10 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 1916 Free PE 42 Allocated PE 1874 PV UUID VOcYPL-kZdd-OZda-Mddd-2Meq-fNBK-9bDGdy Any ideas what is preventing me from seeing the new disks with the "fdisk" command? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Win _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
