Hi all; I've done some searching on the list and the closest I can come up with is this: http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/lvm-devel/2002-March/000873.html This is a new NetFinity server, hardware RAID 5 array. I partitioned the drive, set up a second partition as Linux LVM. Linux kernel is 2.4.20 and LVM version is 1.1-rc2 (kernel patched with this as well) Ran pvcreate which worked fine Ran vgcreate which worked fine Ran lvcreate -L1G -nlvusr rootvg which gave: lvcreate -- ERROR "Operation not permitted" opening logical volume "/dev/rootvg/lvusr" Running lvremove /dev/rootvg/lvusr gives: lvremove -- ERROR "lv_release(): LV number" releasing logical volume "/dev/rootvg/lvusr" And if I try to build a filesystem on this LV I get: count_blocks: open failed (Operation not permitted) If I run vgscan -f I can remove the lv properly, but I cannot create a filesystem still (get same error) What can I give in the way of debug output to be helpful here. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
