Description Pierre Amadio 2011-01-25 09:19:07 UTC

Description of problem:

with system-config-lvm-1.1.5-8.el5, logical volumes appears as not mounted whereas they are actually mounted.

This problem does not occurs with the previous version 1.1.5-4.el5

It looks like the patch that cause this problem is scl-modify_existing_volume-2.patch 

after a chat with Marek, it seems changing  /bin/readlink to /usr/bin/readlink in utilities.py  would solve the problem.

Comment 1 Marek Grac 2011-02-04 17:00:20 UTC

Patch is specific to RHEL5 as readlink was moved to /bin in later releases of coreutils.

Comment 2 Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 2011-02-10 19:19:41 UTC

Same case here. I have opened a support case in Red Hat Support (00417092) to address this issue.

Comment 3 Jack Waterworth 2011-02-15 20:38:18 UTC

I have a customer hitting this same problem in RHEL 5.6. Logical volumes are mounted but are displayed as 'Not Mounted'. I have recreated the issue on my own machine.

Comment 4 Anderson Kaiser 2011-02-16 14:57:12 UTC

The same problem in two cases (#00409487 and 00416408).

The 'Properties for Logical Volume show the following:
 Mount Point: Unmounted
 Mount Point when Rebooted: None

When I try to resize the volume it show the following message:
 Logical volume is not mounted but is in use. Please close all applications
using this device (eg iscsi)

Comment 6 Jaylin Zhou 2011-02-21 03:49:19 UTC

I have a customer's case (#00420511) which hits this problem in RHEL5u6 (system-config-lvm-1.1.5-8.el5.noarch).
After making a soft link /bin/readlink to /usr/bin/readlink have solved the problem.

Comment 10 Ryan 2011-03-25 20:29:50 UTC

Just tried Jaylin's suggestion and worked.  I was able to extend an online LV where before it was showing as unmounted.
