Sorry, didn't send to list. See my response to Chris. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Thomas Kerin <thomas.ke...@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019, 3:40 pm Subject: Re: [qubes-users] fixing LVM corruption, question about LVM locking type in Qubes To: Chris Laprise <tas...@posteo.net>
Hi Chris, Yes, I think I tried that once last night. I notice it creates a qubes_dom0/pool_meta$N volume each time. Note my earlier post (before I saw yours!) had a weird error about 2.6 tb thin volume sizes exceeds size of pools and volume group Output this time was: WARNING: recovery of pools without pool metadata spare LV is not automated WARNING: if everything works, remove qubes_dom0/pool00_meta2 volumWARNING: Use pvmove command to move qubes_dom0/pool00_meta2 on the best fitting PV Currently I have qubes_dom0/pool_meta0, 1, and 2.
