We're hitting the "metadata too large for circular buffer" problem. Last time this occurred, I was able to clear out a little space by removing some unused volumes, and then make more space by selective use of pvmove to defragment. This worked well. However, that time I didn't get the error from lvremove. This time, that is occurring. So I don't seem to be able to make any space. Once I execute lvremove on a volume, the "LV Status" becomes "NOT available". The command 'lvdisplay -m' still shows the segments, however. How can I resolve this? Trashing the entire VG is not something I can afford. I created new PVs with larger allocations of space for metadata, but I cannot even add these to the VG. The vgextend command also fails with "metadata too large for circular buffer". - Andrew _______________________________________________ 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/
