LVM Problem

ZilverZtream · 01-14-2005, 08:41 PM

I'm having some problems with LVM I hope someone can help me with.

When doing pvscan:

Code:

  Couldn't find device with uuid 'jRb1el-Gs1O-6ioE-jhTF-NXV9-Kua0-6to334'.
  Couldn't find device with uuid 'jRb1el-Gs1O-6ioE-jhTF-NXV9-Kua0-6to334'.
  Couldn't find device with uuid 'jRb1el-Gs1O-6ioE-jhTF-NXV9-Kua0-6to334'.

  PV unknown device   VG lvm2   lvm2 [111,79 GB / 0    free]
  Total: 6 [795,16 GB] / in use: 6 [795,16 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

vgdisplay gives me about the same thing "Couldn't find device with uuid 'jRb1el-Gs1O-6ioE-jhTF-NXV9-Kua0-6to334'"

pvdisplay returns this (reduced info):

Code:

  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               unknown device
  VG Name               lvm2
  PV Size               111,79 GB / not usable 0
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size (KByte)       4096
  Total PE              28618
  Free PE               0
  Allocated PE          28618
  PV UUID               jRb1el-Gs1O-6ioE-jhTF-NXV9-Kua0-6to334

HOW do I fix this?
Any help is appreciated.

Well, I don't know if it's of any help and if I get your problem correct, but did you use pvcreate before pvscan? You first have to create a physical volume group before you do a pvscan maybe, sounds like logic to me anyway.

Maybe look at

(excuse me if you already did)
