HW: Chipset Nvidia N570, RAID Controller "JMicron JMB363 P-/S-ATA Controller" HD: 2x SATA RAID: RAID1 with 2x SATA disks in JMicron ROM RAID Setup configured. Bootflag enabled. Installation History ==================== During installation the raid was detected an d configured as /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc There are 2 partitions: /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part1 (/boot) /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part2 (/) Steps after installation ======================== 1) Calling yast partitioner to create /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 as LVM partition 2) reboot 3) calling yast lvm Yast LVM -> new Group 'xen' -> add pv '/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3' to group 'xen' -> create lv 'dom0' in group 'xen' -> Apply. This results in the following yast2 error message (box): ---- Error Failure occurred during following action: Creating volume group xen from /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 System error code was: -4017 ---- System Information ================== xen0:/ # uname -a Linux xen0 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux xen0:/home/bernd # lsmod Module Size Used by .. pata_jmicron 24576 0 generic 23172 0 [permanent] ohci1394 52040 0 ieee1394 130552 1 ohci1394 i2c_nforce2 24960 0 i2c_core 41472 1 i2c_nforce2 forcedeth 60548 0 mbcache 27016 1 ext3 jbd 90872 1 ext3 dm_mirror 39168 2 dm_snapshot 34360 0 dm_mod 81872 11 dm_mirror,dm_snapshot ahci 41604 0 sata_nv 30084 2 libata 145056 3 pata_jmicron,ahci,sata_nv amd74xx 32176 0 [permanent] .. xen0:/ # dmsetup info Name: nvidia_ehjbbcgc State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 3 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 0 Number of targets: 1 UUID: dmraid-nvidia_ehjbbcgc Name: xen-dom0 State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 0 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 4 Number of targets: 1 UUID: LVM-9tVz8keqry7rKDkww77cKOgHqyhDV80oBtIr3izhuqihms7u6p8Zlv4dP2kIf6An Name: nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 1 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 3 Number of targets: 1 UUID: part3-dmraid-nvidia_ehjbbcgc Name: nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part2 State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 1 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 2 Number of targets: 1 UUID: part2-dmraid-nvidia_ehjbbcgc Name: nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part1 State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 0 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 1 Number of targets: 1 UUID: part1-dmraid-nvidia_ehjbbcgc Please have a look at the attached y2log snippet for this action. Additional information ====================== 1) During the creation of the partition /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 there was an error from kpartx which about failed rereading the partition table. This was solved with the reboot. 2) Calling xen0:/ # pvcreate /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 Physical volume "/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3" successfully created xen0:/ # vgcreate xen /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 Volume group "xen" successfully created xen0:/ # lvcreate -L 5G -n dom0 xen Logical volume "dom0" created xen0:/ # ll /dev/mapper/ brw------- 1 root root 253, 3 Jan 1 11:42 nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 brw------- 1 root root 253, 4 Jan 1 11:53 xen-dom0 created the desired lv, so i assume this is not a hw/kernelmodule issue or a problem with the backend tools.
