Vmalloc problem wihle initializing File-IO

[the_nipper]

As I found out now, replication flag can be enabled on File-I/O volumes after creation. The GUI is misleading a bit: when I choose 'modify lv...' , the replication-checkbox is grayed, but can be activated by deselecting the default initializing checkbox. I'll try to create the volume without replication, and add the replication thereafter.

No effect. When trying to enable the replication flag:

2009/07/30 11:25:49 Unable to initialize volume replication for the following logical volume: lvdaten15k00. Please increase the Vmalloc size in console tools: CTRL-ALT-W --> Tuning options --> Vmalloc size

After a reboot, I can set the replication flag now.

Unconvincingly, for a central backend component... :-( Mind that this system provided no operational service than one NFS-share before => no load on a system with many CPUs and cores and 16 GB of RAM.
