Re: [ceph-users] RBD snapshots are not «readable», because of LVM ?

2013-04-16 Thread Olivier Bonvalet
Ok thanks for the advice. But since the kernel client is not compatible
with format 2 images, I can't use it.

I will look at LVM about PV in read-only. Thanks again.

 I am not entirely sure about LVM, but snapshots are read-only by nature.
 Maybe LVM expects a writeable PV.
 Use format 2 images and create snapshot childs, and all should be good.

  Is it a problem from LVM, or I should not use snapshots like that ?

[ceph-users] RBD snapshots are not «readable», because of LVM ?

2013-04-15 Thread Olivier Bonvalet
Hi,

I'm trying to map a RBD snapshot, which contains an LVM PV.

I can do the «map» : 
rbd map hdd3copies/jason@20130415-065314 --id alg

Then pvscan works :
pvscan | grep rbd
  PV /dev/rbd58   VG vg-jason   lvm2 [19,94 GiB / 1,44 GiB free]

But enabling LV doesn't work :
# vgchange -ay vg-jason
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Argument invalide

  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Argument invalide
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Argument invalide
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Argument invalide
  7 logical volume(s) in volume group vg-jason now active
