Hello, I have an LVM configuration on SuSE Linux for S390 (2.2.16) consisting of:
20 - Logical Volumes 16 - Volume Groups 59 - Physical volumes I tried adding about 50 more volumes to the configuration. This obviously forced me into another dasd major number. I did "mknod" commands adding major/minor numbers 254/0 - 254/252 for /dev/dasdbm-/dev/dasddx (as well as /dev/dasdbm1-/dev/dasddx1 for partitions). At boot time, when vgscan ran, it appeared to scan the devices in such a way that caused the original, low numbered devices, to be skipped. It's almost as if it began scanning the new, higher numbered devices, first and stopped before it got to the devices containing existing LVM metadata. I had to remove the new devices from the configuration to get my production LVM configuration back. Is there some limitation I am bumping up against? I seem to be well within the published limits for VGs/LVs/PVs. Thanks in advance, Hank Calzaretta Wallace Computer Services, Inc.
