Description Corey Marthaler 2006-05-18 20:19:52 UTC
Description of problem:
To the best of my knowledge I have everything in place on all the nodes in the
cluster, and this is supposed to be the new build with mirrors in it. I have the
cmirror-kernel rpm installed, the dm-mirror module loaded, and the dm-cmirror
module loaded. And if there is still something that I'm missing, it goes back to
bz 182432, where I should be getting a warning when the user is missing something.

[root@taft-02 ~]# lvcreate -m 1 -n taft-mirror -L 100G taft
  Error locking on node taft-04: Internal lvm error, check syslog
  Error locking on node taft-03: Internal lvm error, check syslog

  Error locking on node taft-02: Internal lvm error, check syslog
  Failed to activate new LV.

dm_cmirror: no version for "kcl_register_service" found: kernel tainted.
device-mapper: Too few arguments to clustered_disk mirror log type.
device-mapper:   3 arguments supplied:
device-mapper:     253:2
device-mapper:     1024
device-mapper:     LVM-XIfZooktPY9Brrgf0pvK5A1IVRq2wn1pubKnhMlxLkwXDHPi3fDHqcBMt
device-mapper: dm-mirror: Error creating mirror dirty log
device-mapper: error adding target to table


This then leads to my disks becoming unusable until go though dm-setup to delete
the mirror logs by hand since they don't show up in lvm.

Comment 1 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2006-05-19 05:29:33 UTC
Strange.  It's probably the rpms you are using...  Device mapper has failed to
supply the "block_on_error" argument, which cluster mirror requires.  I'll try
checking out those RPMs...  Wait a minute...  The lvm2-cluster seems to be from
March 7th, 2006.  It is probably not setting the flag correctly to use
"block_on_error".  Might have to wait until that package is updated.

Assuming this VERIFIED fix got released.  Closing.
Reopen if it's not yet resolved.
