Hello List, This is more lvm centric, just wandered if anyone could point out what I have done wrong. I have the following setup: sda1 => +---+ |md0| sdb1 => +---+ => lvm:system-drdb => drdb:r0 => lvm:vm Before the creation of volume group vm: "/dev/mapper/system-drbd" is a new physical volume of "1.78 TiB" --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/mapper/system-drbd VG Name PV Size 1.78 TiB Allocatable NO PE Size 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID Hsxjgt-KqDI-wNvd-ngqG-3sx3-DoyW-ZbOwxP After creation of volume group vm: --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/dm-3 VG Name vm PV Size 1.78 TiB / not usable 4.00 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 466795 Free PE 466795 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID Hsxjgt-KqDI-wNvd-ngqG-3sx3-DoyW-ZbOwxP The filter in /etc/lvm.conf is set to: filter = [ "a|md.*|", "a|drbd.*|", "r|.*|" ] BUT when I try and create a Logical Volume, the following happens: lvm> lvcreate vm -n freeradius -L 102400000K device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Aborting. Failed to activate new LV to wipe the start of it. Node /dev/mapper/vm-freeradius was not removed by udev. Falling back to direct node removal. Does anybody have any idea why I can not create a Logical Volume in the Volume Group? Thank You, Etienne Pretorius
