Hi all, When shutting down the system, shortly before the shutdown screen says something like "Powerdown" I get an error, which says something like this (I can see the relevant messages only a second or so, so it's hard to write it down literally):
"shutting down LVM volume groups cannot create /var/log/ksymoops read-only filesystem " and it says something about modprobe, IIRC ... S40umountfs is run before S50lvm in rc0.d, so it seems to me being logical that when everything's unmounted there's no possibility to write to some filesystem. OTOH I can't shutdown lvm before unmountfs is running, if I understand this tool correctly. This is what I have: COLUMNS=72 dpkg -l lvm* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un lvm <none> (no description available) un lvm-binaries <none> (no description available) ii lvm-common 1.5.9.3 The Logical Volume Manager [ ... ] ii lvm10 1.0.7-7 The Logical Volume Manager for Linux pn lvm2 <none> (no description available) un lvm5 <none> (no description available) un lvm6 <none> (no description available) In my running kernel 2.4.22-ben2 I did not enable LVM, as I hope: Excerpt from the .config file: ----------------------------------- # Multi-device support (RAID and LVM) # # CONFIG_MD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set # CONFIG_MD_LINEAR is not set # CONFIG_MD_RAID0 is not set # CONFIG_MD_RAID1 is not set # CONFIG_MD_RAID5 is not set # CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM is not set ____________________________________ Excerpt from /proc/cpuinfo: _____________________________________________ machine : PowerBook3,5 motherboard : PowerBook3,5 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh board revision : 00000000 detected as : 80 (PowerBook Titanium IV) ____________________________________________ lvm10 was probably installed to satisfy dependencies or for a "suggests" wish of some other program, when I installed it. My problem, too, is that it seems there's nothing in /var/log/installer.log.1 and /var/log/installer.timings.1 on lvm. Besides the fact these installer.* logs here seems at large parts being unreadable for humans ... :) Simply uninstalling lvm? I don't like this way: I'd like to first fix the problems, then uninstall the stuff that caused them (provided I know what I' doing ... :) Thanks in anticipation, Wolfgang -- Profile, Links: http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer
