Hi, I tried the steps described in the link u sent me.. but at the end I am getting the following error:
$>lvextend -L+3G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Extending logical volume LogVol00 to 10.03 GN device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Failed to suspend LogVol00
My Fedora-8 guest is running following: kernel -->2.6.21-2950.fc8xen Device-Mapper--> device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-11.fc7 device-mapper-libs-1.02.22-1.fc8 device-mapper-1.02.22-1.fc8
LVM-->lvm2-2.02.28-1.fc8
The last few lines of /var/log/messages (after attempting to "lvextend" the logical volume), as follows:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [root@localhost ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages Mar 20 22:49:12 localhost dhclient: bound to 192.168.122.199 -- renewal in 1373 seconds.

Will appreciate any further feedback.
Thanks, kamdard.
I googled on "reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument",found a few hits describing this to be a possibly kernel or DM bug.

Hi,
I've installed Fedora 8 as a guest OS on
Fedora-7+XEN.
The host info: $> uname -a Linux hojo 2.6.21-7.fc7xen #1 SMP Tue Feb 12
12:32:24
EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
CPU: mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP-M 1400+ RAM: 1GB ARCHITECTURE: x86 (32 bit)
While creating the guest, I specified the storage
as
/var/lib/xen/images/f8_xen.img (of about 7 GB).
Unfortunately the guest OS is running out of
storage
space and I want to add more storage to it (file system based, no LVM or partition etc).
I did manage to increase the size of the image
file
via "dd" with dd as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/xen/images/F8_XEN.img bs=2M seek=4096 conv=notrunc count=2048 2048+0 records in 2048+0 records out 4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 124.617 s, 34.5
MB/s
[root@hojo images]# [root@hojo images]# ls -ltr total 12398420 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12884901888 2008-03-20
19:30
F8_XEN.img [root@hojo images]#
Now, I want to add some more storage space to the guest OS.
So how do I do it ?
Will appreciate if someone can provide some
pointers.
