Any attempt to work with LVM mirrors on xen-sources 2.6.16.49 will fail. The same process works seamlessly on gentoo-sources 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (vgstrip is a lvm that was previously created using lvcreate -L20M -m1 -nmirrortest vgstrip /dev/sda7 /dev/sdb7 ) vgchange -a y vgstrip Actual Results: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "vgstrip" now active ls -d /dev/vgstrip ls: cannot access /dev/vgstrip: No such file or directory ls /dev/mapper/vgstrip* /dev/mapper/vgstrip-mirrortest /dev/mapper/vgstrip-mirrortest_mimage_1 /dev/mapper/vgstrip-mirrortest_mimage_0 Expected Results: This is what I see on gentoo-sources-2.6.20 on the same machine. ls -d /dev/vg* /dev/vgstrip On the system log: device-mapper: unrecognised sync argument to mirror log: block_on_error device-mapper: dm-mirror: Error creating mirror dirty log device-mapper: error adding target to table The lvcreate also produces the same error, but the lv is created. (I can activate it with the non-xen kernel)
