-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I am having a problem creating a new LVM on my system. I currently have one on there, and am trying to replace it with a bigger set of drives. It is failing when I go to lvcreate a logical volume. Vgdisplay reports: root@warlock:~# vgdisplay - --- Volume group --- VG Name filebase VG Access read/write VG Status NOT available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 255 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 255 Cur PV 3 Act PV 3 VG Size 110.05 GB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 28172 Alloc PE / Size 28172 / 110.05 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID MIDbTY-fCGM-o42J-KyGD-upKl-1q6P-S5IrQY - --- Volume group --- VG Name mass VG Access read/write VG Status NOT available/resizable VG # 1 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 0 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 95.41 GB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 24426 Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 Free PE / Size 24426 / 95.41 GB VG UUID NxrOxe-GXEF-Cslo-D3NH-oXBg-mlxu-jsqdMo Where filebase is the active LVM, and mass is the new disk in the new LVM. The results of the lvcreate command: root@warlock:~# lvcreate -l24426 mass -n storage lvcreate -- can't create logical volume: volume group "mass" isn't active Any ideas? Yes, I already did a vgscan;vgchange –a y It says mass is already active (along with filebase) Looking forward to a fresh perspective on this ?
