What do you mean by that > exactly? I just suspected some typo on your side. if some device has "partitions", quoted here to denote that with evms I assume these are virtual partions and in fact probably dm targets, it may become difficult to claim the device itself. if it is on purpose, just ignore that statement. find out what evms voodo has claimed those devices already, and deal with it. find /sys/block/ -path "*/holder/s*" -o -path "*/slaves/*" -ls or dmsetup table dmsetup ls --tree -o inverted or even head -n 2000 /proc/partitions /proc/mounts may give some hints. these are hints only, and not necessarily a complete list of device dependencies. you have to use your knowledge of your system to figure out what may be using those devices. -- : Lars Ellenberg http://www.linbit.com : : DRBD/HA support and consulting sales at linbit.com : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Tel +43-1-8178292-0 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : __ please use the "List-Reply" function of your email client.
