The error is: Error: hda is currently in use by LVM. It cannot be tested. You may need to reinstall. ...finished running ./storage.py, exit code=1 I believe this is fixed in R2.
Hi Satyabrata, I checked the error log you attached, seems there are no swap partitions available in the system(or the swap partitions are not enabled). Please notice that "valid" swap partitions are required to successfully run the STORAGE test. So could you please make sure the swap partitions(at least one swap partition) do exist on "hda" and you can see it in "/proc/swaps", then could you please run the STORAGE test again and see if this issue still exists ? Thanks very much! -YK
Hi YK ah! got it! Actualy I performed this test on reserved systems remotely. So, if to test it, I need to retest it on another system. May you pls inform me if I can see swap partitions from terminal and if not present, how can i create it from the terminal. Does it need to restart the system after it created? Please inform. All I do, I have to do remotely. So, pls inform if it is possible or not. :) Thanks

May you pls inform me if I to check if swap partitions are enabled is easy, check the file "/proc/swaps", for example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [kun@yk ~]$ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda3 partition 2096472 0 -1 [kun@yk ~]$ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------(In if this file is empty, then no swap partitions in the system or they may not be enabled. > can see swap partitions from terminal and if not present, how can i create it if the system does have a swap partition(let's say /dev/hda3), but this swap is not enabled, you can enable it by running: # swapon /dev/hda3 if the system does not have swap partitions and does have some spare space, use fdisk to create a swap partition, then run "partprobe", then run "swapon" to enable it . if the system does not have swap partitions and does not have spare space neither, but does have some useless partitions(e.g. /dev/hda4 is ext3 , is mounted on "/data/" and contains no system files and no useful info), then we can change these useless partitions into swap partitions: 1) unmount them first 2) "mkswap" to convert to swap partitions 3) "swapon" to enable but if the system does not have swap partitions and does not have spare space and does not have useless partitions neither. then you have to re-install the system. > from the terminal. Does it need to restart the system after it created? Please no, once you enabled the swap partitions, you don't need to reboot. but please make sure you can see the swap in /proc/swaps every time before you run the storage test(better to add the swap info into /etc/fstab). > inform. All I do, I have to do remotely. So, pls inform if it is possible or not. :) > Thanks

hmmm! got it! ok, I will perform this test once again following your instructions. Thanks a lot really! :)
great! then I'll wait for your upcoming results :)
Hi YK I am extremely sorry, still I did not get any ppc system after booking among reserved systems. As soon as I get it, I will retest it. I am not having any ppc system with physical access thus I can install tree and test it! :(. Please bear with me. Really don't know where all ppc reserved systems gone!
Hi Satyabrata, It's been quite a long time. do you have any update ? can this bug be closed/verified? Thanks -YK
