To give additional data - currently I have the following: # pvs File descriptor 7 (pipe:[76957]) leaked on pvs invocation. Parent PID 15357: bash PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sddlmab2 vg01 lvm2 a-- 14.47g 480.00m /dev/sddlmac vgapps lvm2 a-- 50.00g 50.00g But vgapps has been created "manually" after reinstallation (pvcreate + vgcreate) Is that correct approach if I pvremove it and then pvcreate previous volume using /etc/lvm/backup files ?
