Hi all,
i've just updated CentOS4.3 . After updating it i rebooted the machine (cause there was some kernel pkg's) and it seems that centos lost my LVM config .... I tried manually a vgscan and: (root@backupsrv) boot # vgscan connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused Locking type 2 initialisation failed.
and my /dev/VG0/LogVol00 dissapeared :-(
Any tips ?
I'm running cluster and got the same error. Go back to 2.6.9-34.
Or remove lvm2-cluster ?
Hi,
i've just solved the problem :-P up2date has changed my lvm.conf .... I'm new to Centos, and i didnt know that it saves a copy of the replaced file .... im my case it was the lvm.conf.
The new file (called "bad" :-) ) uses type 2 of locking_type ....
below is a short version (cutting the comments and line numbers) of a diff between both files ....
(root@backupsrv) lvm # diff -ru lvm.conf lvm.conf.bad
+ library_dir = "/usr/lib" + locking_library = "liblvm2clusterlock.so"
- locking_type = 1 + locking_type = 2
Thanks anyway,
Nick
