Hi there,
I'm in the process of moving my data from a dying HDD, and just noticed
something weird. It's an MBR partitioned drive, and there is a FreeBSD
slice and Fedora LVM in EBR, accessible as
/dev/linux_lvm/fedora-{swap,home,root}.
The problem is that once I mount my old FreeBSD partition, e.g.
/dev/ada0s2a, those LVM nodes are gone, logging this:
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: disk pv0 already initialised in fedora
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Disk diskid/DISK-XXXXXXX1s4+00000001 removed from pv0.
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Device linux_lvm/fedora-swap removed.
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Device linux_lvm/fedora-home removed.
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Device linux_lvm/fedora-root removed.
If I unmount /dev/ada0s2a and mount any Fedora's partition, then I can
longer access other slices as there's only /dev/ada0 remains; ``gpart show''
also does not list them, but only those under diskid/DISK-XXXXXXX1.
Why is this happening? What should I fix to stop my partitions from
disappearing and reappearing? Thanks,
