[SLUG] LVM problems
Hi, Having a few issues with LVM when trying to create VG: # vgcreate storage /dev/hda16 returns: /dev/storage: already exists in filesystem # vgremove storage returns: Volume group storage not found or inconsistent. Consider vgreduce --removemissing if metadata is inconsistent. # vgreduce --removemissing storage gives: Volume group storage not found Could be something stupid, but I don't know. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] LVM problems
Does vgdisplay actually display a VG called 'storage'? Did you previously have a VG called 'storage' and remove it or something similar?

Re: [SLUG] LVM problems
No, vgdisplay doesn't show nothing about storage. I did, I had a partition, I did a pvcreate on it, then vgcreate. I then did a mkfs.reiserfs on it, and that's when I lost the pv. But storage is still in /dev/storage/storage and /dev/mapper/storage-storage Thanks Daniel Regards; Daniel Pottumati IT Services Unit Economic and Financial Studies Division Macquarie Unversity Shane [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/24/06 5:24 PM Does vgdisplay actually display a VG called 'storage'?

Re: [SLUG] LVM problems
If the /dev/storage/storage stuff is still there, but you don't have the LV or VG when using the display commands, thats why it's failing. I don't know enough about it to say for certain how to proceed from here to get rid of /dev/storage/storage, hopefully someone else can help out? I think if you can't reclaim 'storage' you might be able to just name the VG something else and proceed as long as nothing tries to use 'storage'.
