I have an 80G drive in an old computer running Debian Sarge (have used both 2.6.8 and 2.6.12 kernel) that acts as a samba server. Recently I upgraded the server with two 250G sata drives and a Sil3114 based SYBA sata controller card. When mounted by themselves, the 250G drives work fine with no problems.
The problem is when I try to add the drives to my current logical volume. I can add the drives to the volume group, extend the volume, and extend the file system -- but when I reboot the UUID of the drives must change! I also tried copying a bunch of files over to the logical volume and got corruption.
Upon executing a lvs/lvscan/vgs/vgscan command I get...
Code:
debian:~# vgs --partial
Partial mode. Incomplete volume groups will be activated read-only.
Couldn't find device with uuid 'J5xCCr-mFyg-yzBp-2v3j-75vO-s4Al-kQdzHq'.
Couldn't find device with uuid '4JquQL-Vo7R-HotY-Vh76-lewb-B7A8-2csjQw'.
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
stor 3 1 0 rz-pn 528.35G 360.00M
So why would the drives work on their own but not with LVM? Makes me feel like LVM is to blame, but it's working fine with the 80G IDE-connected drive.
Soo.. what gives!?
I now also have the problem of not being able to access any data stored within the LV on the 80G drive..
Any suggestions/comments/thoughtless ramblings both welcome and greatly encouraged!
Thanks,
