Bug#245704: didn't write changes before going to LVM
* tbm [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-05-03 20:35]: Ah, I see... so what's the proper fix for this? Will you fix #223388 and add an option to display the selected type, and lvmcfg should then run /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions with that option? Oh, partconf... I guess lvmcfg-utils and mdcfg-utils should not use /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions at all, but some other mechanism (look at partman files). Right? Can you give me a quick hint what to check? I guess it should look through all devices and look for method = raid ? -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The function get_pvs of lvmcfg.sh invokes /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions, however find-partition doesn't list all LVM partitions as being LVM but only those that do not contain any file system. Hence you can not use a partition with existing file system for phisical volume... The other interesting thing is that when I entered the LVM config menu, partman told me it would write its changes to disk, but then it did not do anything (hmmm, maybe the first time I answered this question with no (i.e. don't write changes), but I definitely answered yes the second try. I belive that the changes were written, so I am simply reassinging this but to lvmcfg. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#245704: didn't write changes before going to LVM
Package: partman Version: 34 I wanted to crrate swap on #3, root on #6 (ext3) and LVM on #7. #3 had swap already, #6 ext3 already, but I told it to reformat anyway. #7 was ext2 before, but I wanted LVM. I configured this in partman: IDE1 master - 30.7 GB Maxtor 6E030L0 #1 primary9.7 MB B ext2 #2 primary4.9 GB ext2 #3 primary 511.9 MB F swap swap #5 logical5.0 GB ext3 #6 logical4.9 GB F ext3 / #7 logical 15.2 GB F lvm and then went to the LVM configuration tool. But creating a VG told me that no physical volume (PV) exists... I went to a shell and pvscan could not find anything. fdisk showed that #7 was marked as LVM, though. The other interesting thing is that when I entered the LVM config menu, partman told me it would write its changes to disk, but then it did not do anything (hmmm, maybe the first time I answered this question with no (i.e. don't write changes), but I definitely answered yes the second try. /var/log/partman is attached. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] partman.bz2 Description: Binary data
