All that data is backed up - right? as mentioned in another mail, the device mapper made kept sdc1 busy. in /etc/blkid.tab I found these lines: /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/dm-3 The UUID for /dev/sdc1 and /dev/dm-3 are the same, so I remove the last line and rebooted the system. My hope was that the /dev/mapper/... stuff for the sdc disk will disappear, but that was not the case, the removed line appeare again in the /etc/blkid.tab file, /dev/sdc1 still busy, and I only was able to mount /dev/mapper/ I wonder why this is not happen to the /dev/sdb* partitions. I haven't configure anything related to that intentionally. The sdb and sdc are two disks with each 1.7 TB, it is just that sdb is divided into a lot partitions where sdc is just one large partition. I have no idea why it should but maybe it depends somehow on the size of the partition? I have the disks connected via SCSI to another 10.2 box, there does the /etc/blkid.tab file not exist, and I can just mount /dev/sdc1 there. dm_mod module is loaded on both systems. also a rpm -qf /etc/blkid.tab says file /etc/blkid.tab is not owned by any package. So I am still wondering, why this happens to /dev/sdc but not to /dev/sdb, any idea? cheers Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could be something as simple as the device-mapper having a file handle to the partition already. Don't know if you've fiddled in that area at all though. Just a thought!
