openSUSE 12.3 Beta 1 - Problem happens during installation, where an existing VGroup shall be removed.I get the following error with lvm2.02.98: ----------- #/sbin/vgdisplay --units k -v 'system' --- Volume group --- VG Name system System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 13 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 0 Open LV 0 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 104669184.00 KiB PE Size 4096.00 KiB Total PE 25554 Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 KiB Free PE / Size 25554 / 104669184.00 KiB VG UUID Qs0uaZ-L88n-tC7T-fZQj-sgJY-2yRX-Dlt2Cr --- Physical volumes --- PV Name /dev/sda3 PV UUID wzGjXi-F2lT-d2d4-l5a6-EmfM-W838-YxaFIh PV Status allocatable Total PE / Free PE 25554 / 25554 ----------- VG system is empty, but still: ----------- # /sbin/vgremove 'system' ----------- failes with status code 5, which means 'can't remove volume group containing logical volumes' (from man page).0. Which distro?
1. lvmdump -ma
attached (hope that's ok)
2. vgremove -vvvv &> vgremove-dirty.out
http://pastebin.com/cmek1bYi
3. ps aux | grep lvmetad
Not running, no processes found. Skipping the remaining steps...
3.1 if so, the issue is likely to go away after restarting it. If you `gcore` or `kill -SEGV` it to get a core dump it may help us. 3.2 do another lvmdump here, to get "updated" data after lvmdump restart 3.3 retry 'vgremove -vvvv &> vgremove-reloaded.out' 4. pastebin the vgremove-dirty.out and we will be able to tell more then.
