------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-06-08 23:47 ------- I've tried again today doing more research... running: lvcreate -size 358400k -n rootlv vg1 remove_bigseldom_used getFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/lvcreate: running: lvdisplay > ARRAY(0x81cb8cc) -D -c /dev/vg1/ If I then try to click on the created partition and try to delete I get "lvremove failed". Changing to Ctrl-Alt-F2 and doing the lvremove manually on rootlv works which tells me that the lvcreate does work fine but somehow the lvdisplay creates this mess... In the case above shouldn't the lvdisplay line be more like: running: lvdisplay > ARRAY(0x81cb8cc) -D -c /dev/vg1/rootlv (?) Just guessing... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Cooker FTP install using network.img floppy. [Custom Partitioning] The installer detects the volume group "vg1" on /dev/hde (on a Promise Ultra100-TX2 controller). "vg1" is empty. Note: (before running the MDK installer). On /dev/hde using fdisk I created an extended partition in /dev/hde4, a 1024Mb swap partition in /dev/hde5 and the rest of the disk is /dev/hde6 as LVM (0x8e) I toggle to expert mode. I try to create a new logical volume: Size in MB: 350 Filesystem Type: Jounalised FS: ReiserFS Mount Point: / Logical Volume Name: rootlv Switching to Ctrl-Alt-F3 I can see: ----------------------------------- running: lvcreate -size 358400k -n rootlv vg1 remove_bigseldom_used getFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/lvcreate: running: lvdisplay > ARRAY(0x81cb8cc) -D -c /dev/vg1/ Switching back to Ctrl-Alt-F7: ------------------------------ if I click on the partition just created I see the following details: Mount Point: / Device: vg1/ Type: Journalised FS: ReiserFS (0x183) Start: sector 0 Size: 0(0%), sectors Cylinder: 0 to 0 Not Formatted It seems odd the Device is "vg1/" when I specify "rootlv" as the name (basically I'm expecting "/vg1/rootlv" as the device name). Also why is the size 0, it should 350Mb... If I carry on and try to create a 2nd logical volume for /usr for example with a size of 5000 then eventhough I give "usrlv" as the name of the logical volume I end up having "vg1/" There seems to be something quite wrong here with LVM...
