[SOLVED] add new disk and system boot fails

Post by atjr » 2011/07/21 12:38:58

Hi, I install CentOS 6 as default Desktop theme. and today i would like to add second disk to my computer. when boot ,

udev :ACPI OK
hostname start OK
device-mapper: table: 253.2: striped; Couldn't parse stripe destination
failed to stat /dev/mapper/pdc_ccgcjhdeh
Setting up Logical Volume Management: 3 logical volues(s) in volume group "vg_server1" now active

Checking filesystem
/dev/mapper/vg-server1-lv_root: clean, xxxxxx/xxxxxxx files, xxxxxxx/xxxxxx blocks
fsck.ext4 : unable to resolve 'UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx'
/dev/mapper/vg_server1-lv_home: clean, xxxxx/xxxxxx files, xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx blocks

welcome to CentOS Linux
Starting udev: OK
setting hostname xxxxxx.xxxx: OK
failed to stat /dev/mapper/pdc_ccgcjhdeh
Setting up Logical Volume Management: 3 logical volues(s) in volume group "vg_server1" now active

Checking filesystem
/dev/mapper/vg-server1-lv_root: clean, xxxxxx/xxxxxxx files, xxxxxxx/xxxxxx blocks
fsck.ext4 : unable to resolve 'UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx'
/dev/mapper/vg_server1-lv_home: clean, xxxxx/xxxxxx files, xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx blocks
[FAILED]

as you see above in process device-mapper fails and fsck.ext4 fails, the system give me 2 choices.
1 login as root to solve problem(maintenance)
2 reboot system

lvm command can't used as File-based locking initialisation failed. i can't edit file also. as read-only file systems

so finally, i unplug new harddisk and reboot. the system with first disk run as it has been and show me log-in screen.



HOW should i do to solve device-mapper and any issue to add 2nd disk to my system.

my system used mainboard gigabyte ga78gm-us2h, both of Harddisk are Hitachi-IBM 500gb sata2 .

cheer :-)

Perhaps your 2nd drive is not clean, and contains LVM metadata that conflicts with your current system.
You really don't provide any useful information.

Hi Garald thanks for you suggest;

as you mention, I had setup raid 1. and i unplug one disk and clean install CentOS 6. the 2nd harddisk, i used to installed new system for multi OS on other PC to test window and ubuntu 10.10. that is last status of my 2nd harddisk.

i wipe my 2nd harddisk by used system rescue linux - Gparted . and it still be can't now boot.

#fdisk /dev/sda # it show 2 physical partition as /dev/sda1 /boot and /dev/sda2 linux LVM

#blkid
/dev/sdb: TYPE="promise_fasttrack_raid_member"
/dev/sda2: UUID="xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx" TYPE="LVM2_member"
/dev/mapper/vg_xxxxxx-lv_root: UUID="xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxx-xx" TYPE"ext4"
/dev/mapper/vg_xxxxxx-lv_swap: UUID="xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxx-xx" TYPE"swap"
/dev/mapper/vg_xxxxxx-lv_home: UUID="xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxx-xx" TYPE"ext4"

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

xxxxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xx -> ../../dm-2 ### /home
xxxxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xx -> ../../dm-0 ### /
xxxxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xx -> ../../dm-1 ### swap

this's all i tried.

i don't try dmsetup command as i'm not sure this command will make me lose data or not. i have some data in first Harddisk.

:-)
