backup with --snapshot

[Patrick987]

Hello,
yesterday, I added a second disk to my server, created with cfdisk a primary partition with LVM and formatted the whole LVM-Partition with ext3 (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1). I want the disk to be the storage target of all local VMs to have it separated to the system harddisk.

mount-table:
#############
isis:/backup# mount
/dev/pve/root on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/mapper/pve-data on /var/lib/vz type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /backup type ext3 (rw)
#############

After that, I wanted to make a snapshot (vzdump --dumpdir /backup/20080831 --snapshot 101) that results in an error.

#############

#############

The 101 had a hostname with a "-" (radius-01), but I changed that to radius01.

Did I something wrong or doesn't snapshot like any aditional disks after installing.
I also have to say, that I don't use the beta2. I don't want to upgrade with apt. A new clean install with CD is my prefered way which I will do when I'm in the serverroom again.

thanks a lot for your help,
Patrick

what is the output of 'lvscan' and 'df' - please can you post that here.

Here are the two outputs:

maybe, this is helpful:
isis:~# ls -l /dev/dm-*

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 Aug 30 10:46 /dev/dm-1

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 5 Aug 31 21:36 /dev/dm-5
isis:~#


I don't know, what I did wrong. It worked since I enabled the second disk.

Try to delete that stale snapshot:

lvremove /dev/pve/vzsnap

then try again.

I know where it come from, i mount an lvm usb hdd /dev/mapper/transfert
For this i use commands "vgscan" and "vgchange -a y" and mount it on /mnt/transfert.

After my transfert, i umount /mnt/transfert and unplug the usb hdd.

i certainly miss some thing.

You run 'vgscan' again? (also try pvscan)

I am out of ideas - does a reboot help?
