I created a basic volume group named "uservg" and added two PVs to it successfully. After doing this, I deleted the partitions to the disks... Every time I try to do a vgscan or vgremove it gives the following output: nbd0: Attempted send on closed socket end_request: I/O Error, dev nbd0, sector 0 printk: 7 messages suppressed. Buffer I/O Error on device nbd0, logical block 0 Buffer I/O Error on device nbd0, logical block 1 Buffer I/O Error on device nbd0, logical block 2 nbd0: Attempted send on closed socket /dev/nb0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb1: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb1: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb2: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb2: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb3: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb3: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb4: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb4: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb5: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb5: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb6: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb6: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb7: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb7: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb8: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb8: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb9: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb9: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb10: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb10: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb11: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb11: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb12: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb12: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb13: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb13: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb14: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb14: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nb15: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2199022141440: Input/output error /dev/nb15: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error And it just hangs there.
