Hello, I have run into a problem with LVM2. I am using Fedora Core 4. Here is what I did: lvresize --size=30G -v /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Finding volume group VolGroup00 WARNING: Reducing active and open logical volume to 30.00 GB THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR DATA (filesystem etc.) Do you really want to reduce LogVol00? [y/n]: y Archiving volume group "VolGroup00" metadata. Reducing logical volume LogVol00 to 30.00 GB Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/VolGroup00" Found volume group "VolGroup00" Found volume group "VolGroup00" Loading VolGroup00-LogVol00 Logical volume LogVol00 successfully resized The command was: lvcreate --snapshot --size=500M --name=backup /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 The output it gave is: Rounding up size to full physical extent 512.00 MB Couldn't create temporary text file name. Backup of volume group VolGroup00 metadata failed. Logical volume "backup" created /var/lock/lvm/V_VolGroup00: unlink failed: Read-only file system If I try to use any LVM commands I get: Locking type 1 initialisation failed. I have no idea how to resolve this. The OS is now flagged Read-Only so I can't remove the lock. Please, any help would be appreciated.
