Output of pvs and lvs commands

It fails when trying to divide by cylinder size, which for LVMs is implemented in lvm.pm:

sub cylinder_size {
    my ($hd) = @_;
    $hd->{extent_size};
}

So it looks like it fails to retrieve the extent size (which should be 4Mb)

Can you attach the output of pvdisplay, vgdisplay & lvdisplay?

Also, what's the output of:
lvm2 vgs --noheadings --nosuffix --units s -o vg_extent_size <vg_name>

which is how we retrieve the value

(Just put the right VG name in place of "<vg_name>")

Output of vgdisplay, pvdisplay, lvdisplay and lvm2 vgs commands

One strange thing with the lvm2 vgs command for the vg 91. Even though the
output is being redirected to a file, for this one vg, the output still goes
to the terminal.

# lvm2 vgs --noheadings --nosuffix --units s -o vg_extent_size 91>>lvm.txt 2>&1

Sorry for the delay responding.

That's b/c as "91" is a number, it's interpreted as file descriptor by bash.
Adding a space between "91" & ">>" would have fixed that.

Can you try altering "sub cylinder_size" in /usr/lib/libDrakX/lvm.pm?
As root, change:

sub cylinder_size {
    my ($hd) = @_;
    $hd->{extent_size};
}

into:


sub cylinder_size {
    my ($hd) = @_;
    use Data::Dumper; warn Dumper $hd;
    $hd->{extent_size};
}


Then run "diskdrake &> /tmp/LOG.hd" and attach the resulting file

Ahh. Thanks for that.

Tried that. /tmp/LOG.hd was empty. I'll attach the output that went to
the terminal, though I don't think there's anything new in it.

Compressed output of diskdrake &> /tmp/LOG.hd

Sg has changed and diskdrake fails to parse lvm2 output:

    'VG_name' => 'pvs',
                 ///\\\

I failed to reproduce.

The output in comment #4 shows that you altered /etc/lvm/lvm.conf in order to make all lvm commands very verbose by default, which breaks tools that try parse their output.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

Thanks. diskdrake is working now. I don't remember having changed the
verbose setting, though as the 91 and bk volume groups were created
for Mandriva 2009.1, it's quite probable I did change it, and have
simply forgotten having done so.
