Hi all, One of our CentOS 5.3 randomly reboots, at different times of the day, and I can't see why it's doing it. I have looked through the logs, but don't see any thing in there that shows me why it has rebooted. How can I debug this? Here's a snipped from the log, around the time of the reboot: Jun 2 14:59:59 usaxen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data

Dear All, I have one VG with one LV inside consist of four disk (and four PV) somehow the UUID is changed. I try to restore with the last known good configuration and use pvcreate --uuid xxx --restorefile xxx but I think when I first time do it I did use wrong UUID for two device. but haven't only using command above and haven't used vgcfgrestore. After carefully read the configuration,

Hi all! I'm new to this list. I wanted to have an opinion of the situation i'm facing now (i'm no expert in LVM). Last week, i had to re-install a system which had a system hard drive crash (it was clunking before it definitely died!). It was running on SuSE 9.0 before. I just finished to install a fresh copy of CentOS 4.4 on a new hard disk. I want to know if it's possible

I'm pulling my hair out trying to setup a mirrored logical volume. lvconvert tells me I don't have enough free space, even though I have hundreds of gigabytes free on both physical volumes. Command: lvconvert -m1 /dev/vg1/iscsi_deeds_data Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 10240 more required Any ideas? Thanks!, Gordon Here's the output from the

I've just updated one machine from 4.0 to 4.2. The trouble is, the new kernel doesn't want to boot (2.6.9-22.EL, also tested 2.6.9.22.0.2.EL). Usually, manually recreating initrd file solved this problem in the past for me. But not this time. Playing around, I also noticed that if I rebuild initrd for the old kernel, then it also fails to boot. The only way to boot it up is

Dear All, I am in desperate need for LVM data rescue for my server. I have an VG call vg_hosting consisting of 4 PVs each contained in a separate hard drive (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdd1). And this LV: lv_home was created to use all the space of the 4 PVs. Right now, the third hard drive is damaged; and therefore the third PV (/dev/sdc1) cannot be accessed anymore. I would like

Hi@all System: 2 Server nodes connected to a SAN storage (shared LUNs). Shared storage holds a Volume group (lvm2) with all my hvm guests. Live migration works nice. But snapshots from logical volumes only usable, when i first deactivate logical volume on the second node - otherwise errors in metadata came up and snapshot is broken/inconsistent. both xen 3.3 are installed on ubuntu 8.04. can

Q. What resource do readers recommend for referencing regarding best practices for form construction in Rails?

Presently I have these codes listed in a drop-down select constructed thusly: <p> <b>Location type</b><br /> <%= f.select :location_type,

Hi all, I had centos 5.9 installed with one of its volumes (non-root) on LVM: ... /dev/vgapps/lvapps /opt/apps ext3 defaults 1 2 ... Then installed centos 6.4 on this servers but without exporting this volume (I wanted to reuse it). After that instead importing it I did: # pvcreate /dev/sddlmac # vgcreate vgapps /dev/sddlmac And then realised that I should have

Hi All, For quite some time I've used raid 1 as a means of providing a rollback mechanism for an upgrade (which I learned from others long ago). So essentially, before an upgrade you split the mirrors and upgrade one side or the other. If your upgrade goes well you sync one way, if your upgrade does not you sync the other (much hand waving and chanting going on, as its more complicated than

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of
