I've upgraded my x86_64 4.2 box to the latest kernel 2.6.9.34 and tried an lvm snapshot. It worked fine and I was able to mount the snapshot etc. Now I cannot seem to remove the snapshot. If I try a 'lvremove' it asks if I want to remove the 'active' snapshot, if I say yes it just hangs and the box goes to 99% wait io, however the disk lights do not come on during this. The lvremove process is not straceable so I've got no idea whats going on with it. Luckily I chose to snapshot /tmp...

hi, My volume group is vg. Inside that i have around 10 lvm partitions (each of 100GB). When I try to remove partitions using lvremove /dev/vg/lvm1 It acts like the machine freezes and after a long time the lvremove process gets killed saying "Killed" Whats wrong here. I don't see anything interesting in /var/log/message Thanks Paras.

I am not sure if it''s a xen bug or lvm bug, or just my bad hardware, but here''s how to reproduce: /dev/vg0/centos1 is lvm block used by a domainU, it''s 8G in size. #lvcreate -L8192M -s -n snap1 vg0 #mount /dev/vg0/snap1 /mnt do some copying files here #umount /mnt #lvremove /dev/vg0/snap1 not removed! it says can''t allocated memory #xm mem-set 0 512 #lvremove /dev/vg0/snap1 now it removed successfully #lvcreate -L4096M -n fedora1 vg0 System lockup at this point. I have to login from another terminal. I couldn''t kill the lvcreate process, couln&...

Hello, I was trying to install CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD tonight and kept on getting this same error and i have no idea what is causing this annoyance and not letting me complete the install because as soon as this error is produced it says this a bug and should be filed. Before I file a bug report i would like to know if anyone else ran into this and would mind pointing me in the right

Hi... I have had a problem when I am going to detach one specific LVM partitions of Xen, so I have been trying xm destroy <domain>, lvchange -an <lvm_partition>, lvremove -f....

I have since removed these guests via virt-manager but all attempts to remove from the host the logical volumes associated with the former VirtIO disks fail.

I'm having some difficulty finding a method to shrink my /home to expand my /.? They both correspond to LVMs.? It is my understanding that one cannot shrink a xfs filesystem.? One must back it up (xfsdump), remove (lvremove) redefine it and then restore it back (xfsrestore). Okay, I'm running into a problem where /home? needs to be "unused".? If tried going in to "maintance mode", but I ran into a problem with the mount command (after issuing a 'chroot /sysroot').? I then tried usin...

...guys Does anyone use lvm2 backends for domU storages ? I do and I wanted to use lvm''s snapshot feature to make backups of domUs in background but I got the following problem. When I create a snapshot LV and copy data from it to backup storage it works perfect. Then I do umount and then lvremove. lvremove asks me if I really want to remove the volume and then just hangs forever. In the same time affected domU almost hangs too - it becomes very slow but still live. The only solution of this situation is to shutdown domU, deactivate domU''s LV and then run lvremove for shapshot v...

hi, I use the libvirt-python to manage my virtual machine. When I delete a volume use vol.delete(0), sometimes it note me that has occur the error: libvirtError: internal error '/sbin/lvremove -f /dev/vg.vmms/lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4' exited with non-zero status 5 and signal 0: Can't remove open logical volume "lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4". then I go to the host and run the command: " sudo lvchange -a n /dev/vg.vmms/l...

Hi, I'd like to know what would be the best way to remove an iscsi lvm storage from a server. (removing all reference to that storage etc.) The storage in question will be reset and reformated and used on a different server; so no LVM export is needed. Do I have to do lvremove ..., vgremove ..., pvremove ... and do an iscsiadm -m node -T ... -p ... -u and iscsiadm -m node -o delete -T ... -p ... in order to achieve that? Or is there some more simple way? Thanks for any suggestion and best regards . G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 82 420...

Thanks for the information. How would I remove the only the snapshot but not the base volume? Will $ lvremove /dev/vg0/lv-vm-tviewer leave the base volume untouched?

...to try out LVM snapshots and I have 2 things I'm wondering about My intention is to run backups off the snapshot. As a first iteration, I left 15% of the disk for the snapshot LV. 1. The HOWTO instructions suggest that the snapshot is in effect as long as the snapshot LV exists, and use lvremove to disable the snapshot. Is this the proper way? 2. I chose 15% because the disk is not that active and I think it will be plenty for the duration of the backup I'm doing. Is there a way to track how much space the snapshot is actually using?

Hi. I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no free disk space left. How do i shrink online /var without losing any data or restore from backup? I do not have physical access to the server.
