probable lvm thin_pool exhaustion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

i am a total newbie besides the general knowledge of lvm.
With this disclaimer written I have the following problem,
which may def need some expert knowledge of lvm, because i couldn't
find solutions online for now :/

I am booting my system (in my case is Qubes, but I suppose that does not matter at this point)
and after entering my luks password get to the dracut emergency shell.
"Check for pool qubes-dom/pool00 failed (status:1). Manual repair required!"
The only aclive lv is qubes_dom0/swap.
All the others are inactive.

step 1:
lvm vgscan vgchange -ay
lvm lvconvert --repair qubes_dom0/pool00

Result:
using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
Terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): transaction_manager::new_block() couldn't allocate new block
Child 7212 exited abnormally
Repair of thin metadata volume of thin pool qubes_dom0/pool00 failed (status:1). Manual repair required!


step 2:
since i suspect that my lvm is full (though it does mark 15 g as free)
i tried the following changes in the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
thin_pool_autoextend_threshold = 80
thin_pool_autoextend_percent = 2 (Since my the pvs output gives PSize: 465.56g Pfree 15.78g, I set this to 2% to be overly cautious not to extend beyond the 15 G marked as free, since idk)
auto_activation_volume_list = to hold the group, root, pool00, swap and a vm that would like to delete to free some space
volume_list = the same as auto_activation_volume_list

and tried step 1 again, did not work, got the same result as above with qubes_swap as active only

step 3 tried
lvextend -L+1G qubes_dom0/pool00_tmeta
Result:
metadata reference count differ for block xxxxxx, expected 0, but got 1 ...
Check for pool qubes-dom/pool00 failed (status:1). Manual repair required!



Since I do not know my way around lvm, what do you think, would be the best way out of this?
Adding another external PV? migrating to a bigger PV?
I did not play with backup or achive out of fear to loose any unbackuped data which happens to be a bit :|
Any help will be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
m
