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 at 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 -- Nicholas Anderson Administrador de Sistemas Unix LPIC-1 Certified Rede Fiocruz e-mail: nicholas at fiocruz.br
