So after a botched package update I decided to revert to the snapshot I took just before doing the update. After shutting guest down, I started lvconvert --merge vmhost_vg0/desktop_snap_20200121 and instead of seeing the usual percentage of how far it has completed, I got nothing. lvs -a -o +devices shows LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert Devices desktop vmhost_vg0 Owi-a-s--- 20.00g /dev/sdb3(14848) [desktop_snap_20200121] vmhost_vg0 Swi-a-s--- 10.00g desktop 100.00 I see nothing when I do lsof against both the lv (lsof /dev/vmhost_vg0/desktop) and its snapshot. dmsetup tells me: [root@vmhost ~]# dmsetup info /dev/vmhost_vg0/desktop Name: vmhost_vg0-desktop State: ACTIVE Read Ahead: 256 Tables present: LIVE Open count: 0 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 5 Number of targets: 1 UUID: LVM-qa4WnlE7w8V7pasHwdNH6bnpz2ajYY1F2ZXwTWzpUE2r6eE2DftMGLHdeATE8XAq [root@vmhost ~]# dmsetup info /dev/vmhost_vg0/desktop_snap_20200121 Name: vmhost_vg0-desktop_snap_20200121 State: ACTIVE Read Ahead: 256 Tables present: LIVE Open count: 0 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 15 Number of targets: 1 UUID: LVM-qa4WnlE7w8V7pasHwdNH6bnpz2ajYY1FkyXcvv8ai1Sc0q5zlsXeenYOqCPUXs3M [root@vmhost ~]# Before I blow that lv up, what else should I be checking? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
