I upgrade using YUM my CentOS 4 system the other night. I was noticing that X wasn't coming up because of a gdk_thread issue (actually, the window manager wasn't starting. I cold get X to start from the command line).
Surprised that it took 587MB of downloads, since I was current as of September 29th.
When rebooting, I was forced to the login prompt, because my LVM group with my home directory couldn't be mounted.
I'm not very familiar with LVM, I had only used it to make one consolidated directory for my 100 and 160GB hard drives.
Though lvmdisplay could show the volume group, fsck and mount didn't like it.
Oh, and the upgrade didn't fix the thread problem.
Anyone have an idea whether it was just me having the LVM problem?
I'm currently reinstalling CentOS4 (pre update 1) from CD. At least when running diskdruid, I could mount the LVM group. So, after my install, assuming it is still visible when booting from hard drive, I'll backup those drives before running YUM again. I'f the window manager doesn't start up again, I'll reformat on my next install.

[..] Anyone have an idea whether it was just me having the LVM problem?
I just upgraded to 4.2 and everything looks fine. I have all my partitions on LVM, except for /boot:
[root@dell ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release && mount -t ext3 CentOS release 4.2 (Final) /dev/mapper/storage-root on / type ext3 (rw) /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/storage-home on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/storage-usr on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/storage-var on /var type ext3 (rw,mand) /dev/mapper/storage-data on /var/data type ext3 (rw)
I have LVM on top of RAID1, which is made of two Fujitsu SCSI disk of 18GB.
Have a nice day all, Alex
When rebooting, I was forced to the login prompt, because my LVM group with my home directory couldn't be mounted.
I'm not very familiar with LVM, I had only used it to make one consolidated directory for my 100 and 160GB hard drives.
I have the same issue. I've got a volume group spread across 2 disks and when I try to activate that volgroup I get the following:
<snip> [root@hetfield mapper]# vgchange -ay VolGroup02 device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument Couldn't load device 'VolGroup02-DVD'. 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup02" now active <snip>
and the relevant portion of the /var/log/messages has:
<snip> Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: error adding target to table <snip>
My other two volgroups are working fine. It's just this third one that has problems.
I did quite a bit of googling yesterday, but I didn't come up with much although I have to confess that I know jack about the device mapper...
Regards,
Pat
I just came home for lunch to check my system (I did a fresh 4.0 install yesterday, downloaded the updates overnight, and applied them this morning). After the reboot, it failed again.
At least, while it was at 4.0, I was able to backup the entire /home directory to USB disk (this is all personal stuff).
NOT giving me a warm fuzzy feeling about using LVM. This is supposed to be enterprise ready?
The appropriate parts of /var/log/messages of my last boot is attached. When trying to mount from the command line, I get the following error: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00: Invalid argument mount: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00: can't read superblock

I just came home for lunch to check my system (I did a fresh 4.0 install yesterday, downloaded the updates overnight, and applied them this morning). After the reboot, it failed again.
At least, while it was at 4.0, I was able to backup the entire / home directory to USB disk (this is all personal stuff).
NOT giving me a warm fuzzy feeling about using LVM. This is supposed to be enterprise ready?
Further study, and I suspect that this problem may be from the upstream provider (i.e. Redhat).
Unfortunately, I can't verify this without reinstalling CentOS4.0 and recreating the LVM group.
After the problems with the upgrade to 4.2, which broke my LVM group, (and also broken with a fresh install of CentOS 4.2 from DVD, with everything formatted but the LVM group), I gave up on this, and decided to just have the 2 drives be separate filesystems. Unfortunately, I couldn't mount the second had drive. Got the error that /dev/hdg1 was already mounted, or /home2 was busy. No, I'm afraid not. Note, it showed up in /proc/partitions, I could run fdisk on the drive, repartition t, format it, run fsck on it. Just not format it).
My speculation is that LVM was failing because I could not mount a normal partition on the drive either.
Testing this last problem, I decided to just try RHEL WS 4.2. It too has the same problem.
And the funny part is that, during the actual install, I can mount and write to the partition from virtual console 2. It is only after the install that it is failing, which was the same issue with CentOS 4.2, where I could look at the LVM group when present during the install but not after the install.
2 more notes. I tried the above when SELinux was at both Warn, and when turned off. Also, when I encountered the problem during a yum update, it didn't matter whether I booted the original 4.0 kernel or the 4.2 kernel. So it must have been one of the other packages breaking it.
Guess I have 2 options. Try Fedora, or install 4.2, live without one of the drives for awhile, and see if a future upgrade will fix it. Too bad I can't report it to Redhat. I no longer have a home license with them.

Thanks a lot for your help. I now know about the bugs website, and the removal of the dmraid package fixed my problems. I've even reextended my LVM group to the second drive again.

Thank the guy ( Simon Bacon ) who was nice enough to drop off an issue report just to let people know how to get around this issue - not many people do that.
And the next time you have an issue and know of a work around, drop it into the bugs db, so it might help people who come along down the road.

When rebooting, I was forced to the login prompt, because my LVM group with my home directory couldn't be mounted. I'm not very familiar with LVM, I had only used it to make one consolidated directory for my 100 and 160GB hard drives.
I have the same issue. I've got a volume group spread across 2 disks and when I try to activate that volgroup I get the following:
<snip> [root@hetfield mapper]# vgchange -ay VolGroup02 device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument Couldn't load device 'VolGroup02-DVD'. 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup02" now active <snip>
and the relevant portion of the /var/log/messages has:
<snip> Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed Oct 17 08:45:07 hetfield kernel: device-mapper: error adding target to table <snip>
My other two volgroups are working fine. It's just this third one that has problems.
I did quite a bit of googling yesterday, but I didn't come up with much although I have to confess that I know jack about the device mapper...

I'm going to give CentOS one more try before trashing the LVM group. I'm downloading the DVD for 4.2, so tomorrow when it finishes I'll burn a DVD with it, and try a straight install, formatting everything but the LVM group, and see if it works that time.
I'm wanting to stick with a Redhat like system, since the plans at work are to upgrade from RHEL 2.1 to 4 in the next few months, and my comfort level is to stick with a similar system at home. And until this problem, I had been pretty happy with CentOS.
Obviously, at this point, I don't know if this is a problem with the RHEL underpinnings, or whether it is in CentOS itself.
