Hello, I am working with EMC drives (Both M1/M2s and BCVs) and encountered the following problem with vgexport. When I try to export a volume group which consists of BCVs, I receive the following error: [root@sanbox06 root]# vgexport -v bcvorabackupdg vgexport -- locking logical volume manager vgexport -- checking volume group name vgexport -- checking volume group activity vgexport -- reading data of volume group "bcvorabackupdg" from disk(s) vgexport -- ERROR "lv_read_all_lv(): number of LV" reading data of volume group "bcvorabackupdg" vgexport -- unlocking logical volume manager Now, the creation of both the BCV volume group and the mirrored EMC volume group was identical. When exporting the BCV volume group I have no issues at all and everything runs as exptected. I have run vgexport on three mirrored groups with no issues, but each time I use a BCV group, the same error appears. Thanks in advance for any feedback! Cheers, Travis B. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
