I'm trying to create a 500GB lv volume on a 500GB physical volume, but can't: [root at francois-pc ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sdd VG freenas lvm2 [500.00 GB / 500.00 GB free] PV /dev/sdc VG thecus lvm2 [1010.00 GB / 910.00 GB free] PV /dev/mapper/ddf1_RAIDp2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [931.25 GB / 0 free] Total: 3 [2.38 TB] / in use: 3 [2.38 TB]

Hey Roger, I am seeing this weird behavior when using #linux-next + stable/for-jens-3.8 tree. Basically I can do ''pvscan'' on xvd* disk and quite often I get checksum errors: # pvscan /dev/xvdf PV /dev/xvdf2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [18.88 GiB / 0 free] PV /dev/dm-14 VG vg_x86_64-pvhvm lvm2 [4.00 GiB / 68.00 MiB free] PV /dev/dm-12 VG vg_i386-pvhvm lvm2

i''ve installed XCP 1.5-beta. i''m a little confused as to what has happened. everything so far seems to work. however, i need more information on what was done to my hard disk during the installation and how was the file system set up. in particular, i was investigating how to create a new logical volume to place my ISO file to use as my ISO storage (SR). i notice (see below with

Hello again. Do any of you have one of the 'new' HDDs with 4kB Sectors currently in use? I would upgrade to the 4kB disks but I don't know if this might be problematic as I intend to use ZFS w/ RAIDz or at least a classic RAID6. How might this affect performance under 5.5 and how do I go about setting up the alignment of the partitions I use? Kind regards Dawid Horace

I wonder if someone can point me in right directions. I have two dell servers I setup iscsi so I have four 2 tb hard drives and i had used lvm to create one big partiton and share it using iscsi. How I go about assigning sections of iscsi for virtual hard drives . should go about assigning Should I export the whole 8TB as one iscsi and then use lvm to create smaller virtual disk. Or should I

Hi, I have CentOS 5.0 which use an old hard disk. And recently I found there are some bad sector on it ... I try to backup my data to other CentOS 5.0 box .... What I did is. I remove the old HD (with bad sector) and install it as a slave IDE on a working CentOS 5.0 ... I try to mount the old HD as /mnt/oldDisk but since it's a LVM, the "mount -t ext3" doesn't work. I'm

CentOS 7 for everything I am probably never using lvm again. I have never not once actually benefited from its capabilities but this is probably the third or fourth time it has gotten in my way. Issue is that I use the tools so rarely that I can't recall what needs to be done to properly mount the drives on another system and finding that info on the web is becoming more difficult as the

Hi People I just updated a CentOS 5.2 Server that is a Guest inside VMware ESX 3.50 Server using "yum update". As far as I can tell the only three packages were updated Jul 24 16:37:49 Updated: php-common - 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.i386 Jul 24 16:37:50 Updated: php-cli - 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.i386 Jul 24 16:37:50 Updated: php - 5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.i386 But when I rebooted the Server one of my

This is the same as the previous patch, but the partition type is now chosen automatically from mbr or gpt, unless the user expresses a preference. https://gb.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-January/msg00136.html Rich.

Are folks in the Centos community succesfully using device-mapper-multipath? I am looking to deploy it for error handling on our iSCSI setup but there seems to be little traffic about this package on the Centos forums, as far as I can tell, and there seems to be a number of small issues based on my reading the dm-multipath developer lists and related resources. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim

Hi, I recently installed centos for the first time and I like it! Also, I just started working with lvm. The following warnings are genertated whenever I run one of lvm commands on the external usb disk (MyBook by Western Digital). * What could be the source for those messages? * Should I worry about them (writing into the created LV's seems to work)? * If yes, how to fix them?

I plan to upgrade an existing C7 computer which currently has one 256 GB SSD to use mdadmin software RAID1 after adding two 4 TB M2. SSDs, the rest of the system remaining the same. The system also has one additional internal and one external harddisk but these should not be touched. The system will continue to run C7. If I remember correctly, the existing SSD does not use a M2. slot so they

Hi All, I have a Drobo, connected to a CentOS 6.4 box. The box sees it as /dev/sdg.

Hi, We are planning to have LVM being used over a network of 3 h/w machines(500 GB Disk each) Each hardware machine will have 2-3 domUs. Can we store these domUs as a Logical Volumes stored across Network of these 3 machines? Can one DomU exceed the 500 GB (physical drive size) and store say 1 TB of data across the networked Physical Volumes? Has anyone done this before? Thanks and regards,

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw.
