I'm seeing the same behaviour with 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 .. I uninstalled multi-path and no change. My LVM's are partitioned and have JFS filesystems (not GFS): dmesg shows messages like: device-mapper: table: 253:2: striped: Couldn't parse stripe destination device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table vgchange shows: [root@asparagus ~]# vgchange -a y device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address 5 logical volume(s) in volume group "250GBx2" now active device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such device or address 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "750GBx2" now active 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active vgscan finds them ok [root@asparagus ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes.

Are the device-mapper, LVM, and multipath packages up-to-date? Could there be a version mismatch? Please update also your kernel (default update is set to not update kernel IIRC), there was some unexpected incompatibility with very old RHEL5 kernel and new userspace. (comment #1 - 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 is Fedora kernel, using Fedora kernel with RHEL5 is not supported configuration at all.) |
