Hi list, this is using systemimager 4.0.0-1, 3.9.6-1 and 3.8.0-1 installing SLES9 SP3, 2.6.5-7.287-smp
creation of logical volumes errors out with a device-mapper message: lvcreate -L1G -n opt data0 device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address Failed to activate new LV The LV gets created, but the system can not find it via the /dev filesystem: # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% opt data0 -wi-d- 1.00G # lvchange -a y data0/opt device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address deps: task run failed for (253:4) Failed to add device (253:4) to dtree lvdisplay shows the LV as expected (/dev/data0/opt) including its UUID, but divice-mapper doesn't know how to access it. dm-mod is loaded. I can see entry for the new LV under /dev/mapper/data0-opt, but nothing under /dev/data0/opt, which would usually be a symlink to the above. /dev/data0 never gets created. And there is nothing in /proc/partitions either. # ls -l /dev/mapper/data0-opt brw------- 1 root root 253, 4 Nov 8 00:40 /dev/mapper/data0-opt # ls -l /dev/data0 ls: /dev/data0: No such file of directory I do not get this error when installing a SLES10 image. I suspect this is because boel lvm is expecting devices via udev, but SLES9 uses a static /dev? This is a wild guess. The other thought is my goldenclient kernel version doesn't like boel lvm. I tried with systemimager-3.9.6.-1 and 3.8.0-1 also (goldenclient and server), but got the same error. -- -ashley Did you try poking at it with a stick? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
