I would hate to take a guess, without looking at the output of those commands. Also, what kind of SAN Storage array do you have and are you using any volume manager? Lvm is the native volume manager or you could use veritas.
Also these forums has always someone who can help in your timezone. Don'tworry about that
. If I am not online,someone else will be able to help.
