I'm not sure about your error, but I would merge sda[6789] into a single partition. Splitting a disk and then putting it back together in software just adds an unnecessary load to your system (only one Physcial Volume per disk). In other words, sda6 should go from 16845.016 to 38154.000. Getting there may be a challenge, though ;-) Taking a stab at your problem, I would first look to see if you've exclude sda3 from LVM. I am guessing that you haven't, and that LVM is trying to read a PV id off sda3. -- David Johnston <david@littlebald.com> Little Bald Consulting, LLC _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
