LVM <-> IDE: Wrong usage count?
Hi!
I've got some little box which consists mainly of a SCSI HDD (used as system disk) and a LV (to hold data):
db-pg:~# uname -a Linux mirror 2.4.7 #1 Mon Jul 23 12:56:36 CEST 2001 i686 unknown db-pg:~# mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) /dev/data_vg/data_lv on /home/data type ext2 (rw)
data_vg consists currently of one IDE HDD. Because IDE is not needed for boot-up, it's build as modules. However, IDE module's use count is zero ATM, which is a bad think (TM) IMHO:
db-pg:~# lsmod Module Size Used by rtc 5408 0 (autoclean) nfs 73104 1 (autoclean) lockd 49104 1 (autoclean) [nfs] sunrpc 60880 1 (autoclean) [nfs lockd] 3c59x 25184 1 (autoclean) lvm-mod 40624 2 ide-disk 6784 0 ide-probe-mod 8240 0 ide-mod 62000 0 [ide-disk ide-probe-mod] apm 9040 0 (unused) unix 15040 34 (autoclean)
Is lvm-mod's use count correct? Two seems one too much. And the IDE module's use count seems to be wrong, too. They should be higher. I could try to rmmod(8) ide-*, but I fear to loose the volume:-)
Could you please enlighten me WRT LVM's and IDE's use count?
