I have been thinking about this a lot though. I've never seen it and I'm not sure what the next move really is. Someone did suggest (and sorry for not posting sooner) that you should run lsof against /dev/mapper/control and see if something is keeping it open. > I'm going to use spare space to create a new logical volume and move data > across and delete the wacky vg-backup unless any other bright ideas arise > soon. Hopefully this will work. I guess you were able to remove an lv previously so you shouldn't have an issue doing this. One thing you didn't answer (and I didn't ask) is if you had problems extending any other lvs. The output of all the tools show the devices in a good state, so to me it just doesn't make sense. Try the lsof bit and see if anything interesting shows up. -- Zac Slade krakrjak@volumehost.net ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 _______________________________________________ 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/
