Hello list, I'm trying to script the setup of a logical volume. Here's some output from the code:
running: lvcreate -i 2 -I 64 -r 0 -l 100%VG -n oradata_lv oradata_vg Logical volume "oradata_lv" created running: udevadm settle Mounting the logical volume /dev/mapper/oradata_vg/oradata_lv Making an ext4 file system on /dev/mapper/oradata_vg/oradata_lv running: mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/oradata_vg/oradata_lv mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Could not stat /dev/mapper/oradata_vg/oradata_lv --- No such file or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/oradata_vg/oradata_lv returned 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the "lvcreate" succeeds, but the resulting /dev/mapper entry is not there. At the next reboot it is there. I threw in a "udevadm settle", but same results. This is on RHEL 6.2. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround like "refresh-dev-mapper-entries"? I hate throwing in arbitrary "sleep"s. Thanks.
