From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041004 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: On installing RHEL3-AS using LVM, several of the LVM volume group devices are not created, preventing the system from booting. The /etc/fstab file is created correctly (attached), however not all of the device files in /dev/VolumeGroup00 are created (listing also attached). Specifically, 6 logical volumes should have been created (/dev/VolumeGroup/LogVol[0-5]) However, only LVs 3,4, and 5 actually exist (for /, /var, and /home) respectively. The other three are missing. The outputs from pvdisplay and vgdisplay are also attached. Note that There is some 500GB of unallocated space in the vgdisplay output--this is the amount that *should* have been used by the three missing partitions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lvm-1.0.8-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create LVM and mount points as in the attached fstab.txt file. Actual Results: LVM VG devices were not created, although they did appear correctly in anaconda/disk druid Expected Results: All LVM devices should have been created. Additional info:
Created attachment 107073 [details] Correctly created /etc/fstab This is the /etc/fstab file created by the installer. It is correct, although some the LVM devices it refers to are not created.
Created attachment 107074 [details] output from 'ls -l /dev/Volume00' Notice that LV devices 0, 1, and 2 are all missing.
Created attachment 107075 [details] output from pvdisplay This is the output from 'pvdisplay /dev/sda3'. The sda devices is a RAID array; sda1 is /boot, sda2 is swap, and sda3 is an LVM PV. There are only 3 partitions.
Created attachment 107076 [details] Output from 'vgdisplay' Output from 'vgdisplay'. Note that there are 500GB of free space--which should be allocated to the three missing loggical volumes. There should be no freespace.
