Status can also be helpful. According to your advise i did review logs and found few disturbing and not clear errors: pvscan[792]: device-mapper: suspend ioctl on failed: Invalid argument pvscan[792]: Unable to suspend rootvg-varlv (253:9) lvm[796]: Monitoring RAID device rootvg-varlv for events. pvscan[774]: device-mapper: suspend ioctl on failed: Invalid argument pvscan[774]: Unable to suspend rootvg-tmplv (253:14) lvm[796]: Monitoring RAID device rootvg-tmplv for events. pvscan[792]: device-mapper: suspend ioctl on failed: Invalid argument pvscan[792]: Unable to suspend rootvg-usrlv (253:20) lvm[796]: Monitoring RAID device rootvg-usrlv for events. pvscan[774]: device-mapper: suspend ioctl on failed: Invalid argument pvscan[774]: Unable to suspend rootvg-rootlv (253:25) pvscan[774]: rootvg: refresh before autoactivation failed. lvm[796]: Monitoring RAID device rootvg-rootlv for events. pvscan[792]: rootvg: refresh before autoactivation failed. lvm[690]: 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "datavg" monitored lvm[690]: 26 logical volume(s) in volume group "rootvg" monitored lvm[690]: 4 logical volume(s) in volume group "lxcvg" monitored systemd[1]: Started Monitoring of LVM2 mirrors, snapshots etc. using dmeventd or progress polling. -- Subject: Unit lvm2-monitor.service has finished start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel -- -- Unit lvm2-monitor.service has finished starting up. -- what does mean suspend in that case ? -- regards, Michal -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
