Hi Strahil, The name of device is not at all a problem here. Can you please check the log of glusterd, and see if there is any useful information about the failure. Also please provide the output of `lvscan` and `lvs --noheadings -o pool_lv` from all nodes Regards Rafi KC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Strahil Nikolov" <hunter86_bg@xxxxxxxxx> To: gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 2:36:39 AM Subject: Gluster snapshot fails Hello Community, I have a problem running a snapshot of a replica 3 arbiter 1 volume. Error: [root@ovirt2 ~]# gluster snapshot create before-423 engine description "Before upgrade of engine from 4.2.2 to 4.2.3" snapshot create: failed: Snapshot is supported only for thin provisioned LV. Ensure that all bricks of engine are thinly provisioned LV. Snapshot command failed Volume info: Volume Name: engine Type: Replicate Volume ID: 30ca1cc2-f2f7-4749-9e2e-cee9d7099ded Status: Started Snapshot Count: 0 Number of Bricks: 1 x (2 + 1) = 3 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: ovirt1:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine Brick2: ovirt2:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine Brick3: ovirt3:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine (arbiter) Options Reconfigured: cluster.granular-entry-heal: enable performance.strict-o-direct: on network.ping-timeout: 30 storage.owner-gid: 36 storage.owner-uid: 36 user.cifs: off features.shard: on cluster.shd-wait-qlength: 10000 cluster.shd-max-threads: 8 cluster.locking-scheme: granular cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm: full cluster.server-quorum-type: server cluster.quorum-type: auto cluster.eager-lock: enable network.remote-dio: off performance.low-prio-threads: 32 performance.io-cache: off performance.read-ahead: off performance.quick-read: off transport.address-family: inet nfs.disable: on performance.client-io-threads: off cluster.enable-shared-storage: enable All bricks are on thin lvm with plenty of space, the only thing that could be causing it is that ovirt1 & ovirt2 are on /dev/gluster_vg_ssd/gluster_lv_engine , while arbiter is on /dev/gluster_vg_sda3/gluster_lv_engine. Is that the issue ? Should I rename my brick's VG ? If so, why there is no mentioning in the documentation ?
