Description Alexandre Oliva 2003-07-04 21:56:26 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030619

Description of problem:
If you specify a raid block device as the physical volume to use for a logical
volume to be created, it fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a volume group say VG00 containing at least one physical volume that is
a raid device say /dev/md0, with at least one free logical extent
2.lvcreate -n test -l 1 VG00 /dev/md0

Actual Results:  lvcreate -- couldn't read physical volume "/dev/md0"


Expected Results:  It works for non-raid physical volumes (say /dev/hda5), so it
should work for raid devices too.

Additional info:

This has been broken since at least Shrike.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2004-03-02 15:25:19 UTC

Does running:
lvcreate -n test -l 1 VG00
with /dev/md0 in the VG00 group work?

Comment 2 Alexandre Oliva 2004-03-02 19:06:15 UTC

Yup.  And even if there were only raid devices in the volume group, it
would still work.  It doesn't seem to be a problem with using raid
devices or allocating blocks to them, it's probably more of a matter
of handling command-line arguments.
