I'm trying to have a domU run lvm and manage one vg, a few pvs, and lots
of lvs without the dom0 having any role in the situation.
To simplify things as much as possible, I set up a test with one pv,
that is recognized as such by the dom0, and I'm using the same dom0
kernel for my domU.
I did the following:
* pvcreate /dev/hda6 from dom0, and verified that pvscan showed it
* I then explicitly excluded it in dom0's lvm filter, and verified that
pvscan did not see it
* I added an entry ('phy:hda6,hda6,w') to the domU's disk configuration
* started the domU
* did a "dd if=/dev/hda6 | less" and saw that the device existed and
contained information indication it was a pv.
* copied the exact lvm.conf that I was using in dom0 before adding the
hda6 exclusion
* restarted lvm (and later rebooted the domU just to be certain)
* did a pvscan and pvdisplay /dev/hda6, both of which claimed to not see
anything
* tried to redo the pvcreate from within the domU and got the message:
"/dev/hda6: Couldn't find device. Check your filters?" (triple checked
the filters)
* noted that /etc/lvm/.cache consistently is getting filled with:
valid_devices=[
"/dev/loop0",
"/dev/loop1",
"/dev/loop3",
"/dev/loop4",
"/dev/loop7",
"/dev/loop2",
"/dev/md0",
"/dev/loop5",
"/dev/loop6"
]
instead of the specific device(s) that I am handing off to the domU. The
dom0 lvm cache contains none of those entries.
Any suggestions?
