I converted a system disk from a virtualbox VM and added to the config on a qemu VM. All seems well until I try to mount it. The virtual machine shows data for the disk image using commands like: pvs lvs lvdisplay xena-1 but there is no /dev/xena-1/root to be mounted. I also cannot seem to figure out whether the lvm related modules are available for the virtual machine kernel. Has anyone

The following patch attempts to implement sparsification of LUKS-encrypted partitions. It uses lsblk to pair the underlying LUKS block device with its mapped name. Also, --allow-discards was added by default to luks_open(). There are several potential issues that I can think of: 1) If and entire device is encrypted (not just one of more partitions), the lsblk trick might not work. 2) The

I know how to change the UUID of Physical Volumes and Volume Groups, but when I try to do the same for a Logical Volume, lvchange complains that "--uuid" is not an option. Here is how I've been changing the others (note that "--uuid" does not appear in the man pages for pvchange and vgchange for lvm2-2.02.26-3.el5): pvchange --uuid {pv dev} vgchange --uuid {vg name} Any

Hello, I would really appreciate some help/guidance with this problem. First of all sorry for the long message. I would file a bug, but do not know if it is my fault, dm-cache, qemu or (probably) a combination of both. And i can imagine some of you have this setup up and running without problems (or maybe you think it works, just like i did, but it does not): PROBLEM LVM cache writeback

Hello, I'm having a strange problem booting a new centos7 installation. Below some background on this. [I have attached the tech details at the bottom of this message] I started a new CentOS7 installation on a VM, so far all good, o/s boots fine. Then I decided to increase VM disk size (initially was 10G) to 13G. Powered off the VM, increased the vhd via the hypervisor, booted from CentOS

I would like to have a smart cli tool, that shows a comprehensive list about the local storage structure: An output like: /srv /dev/mapper/luks-f85b7a2c-...: UUID="ca924fad-..."

Hi all, One of our Dell servers has failed badly, and one of the domU's has been corrupted in the process. It boots up to a point and then gives me a kernel panic: Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating

Hi, I have a centos 4 box i use for a file server (nfs and samba). It has two hdd: hda is for the standard install; hdb is for /export/samba/netdisk0 hda is lost - it just clicks now i think hdb is still good i can't figure out how i can remount the hdb disk in a new machine and retrieve the info from it; i've scanned the LVM howto and googled some LVM topics, but nothing seems to

Hello, this is my first time posting on this mailing list. I wanted to suggest a addition to the qemu hook. I will explain it through my own use case. I use a shared LVM storage as a volume pool between my nodes. I use lvmlockd in sanlock mode to protect both LVM metadata corruption and concurrent volume mounting. When I run a VM on a node, I activate the desired LV with exclusive lock

Everyone, Is there a way to manually assign usb drives to a specified device label. Is there a way to force two usb drives to be labeled as /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd? I decided to build an archive server for the purpose of backing up other fedora/centos desktops at the office. I built a machine and have installed Centos 7.3 on it with all updates current. I also purchased a 3.0 usb sata drive

I just noticed that by running by commands /usr/sbin/smbd -D or /usr/sbin/smbd -i without systemd's unit, all shares work perfectly so the problem must then be somehow related to systemd.. Let the testing continue.. I also tested what happens if I comment out everything and just use ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd -D as that command worked on the console. That did not help. For the record, this is

Hi, I have an iscsistorage which I attached to a new centos 6.3 server. I added logic volumes as usual, the block devices (sdb & sdc) showed up in dmesg; I can mount and access the stored files. Now we did an firmware software update to that storage (while unmounted/detached from the fileserver) and after reboot of the storage and reatache the iscsi nodes I do get new devices. (sdd &

Hi, I just replaced Slackware64 14.1 running on my office's HP Proliant Microserver with a fresh installation of CentOS 7. The server has 4 x 250 GB disks. Every disk is configured like this : * 200 MB /dev/sdX1 for /boot * 4 GB /dev/sdX2 for swap * 248 GB /dev/sdX3 for / There are supposed to be no spare devices. /boot and swap are all supposed to be assembled in RAID level 1 across
