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'.

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

Does vgdisplay actually display a VG called 'storage'?
Did you previously have a VG called 'storage' and remove it or
something similar?

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
