PE Stale on FC10

[Manuel_8]

Hello,
lvdisplay command show "PE 2170 stale" on a mirrored lv; but trough vgdisplay command we see that the (mirror) disk with PE stale was available.
We have substitute the bad disk on FC10.
Before the substitution we have do "lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vgXXX/lvXXX /dev/dsk/cXtXdX".
After the substitution we have do "vgremove /dev/vgXXX /dev/dsk/cXtXdX"
"pvcreate -v "newdisk"" "vgextend dev/vgXXX /dev/dsk/cXtXdX" and "lvextend -m1 /dev/vgXXX/lvXXX /dev/dsk/cXtXdX".
We try to repeat the command lvdisplay but we see also "PE 2170 stale".

Any help would be greatly appreciate

Try running "lvsync", it usually fixes this kind of error it there is no hardware problem on the physical volume (disk). Simply run ..
# lvsync /dev/vgXX/lvolY
on the LV that has the "stale" extent.

I execute the command lvsync but the problem persist.
The output message of the lvsync command is:

Couldn't re-synchronize stale partitions of the logical volume:
Device offline/Powerfailed
lvsync: Couldn't resynchronize logical volume "/dev/vg_dblsb/lv_dblsb2". "lvsync"

I hope that you can help me another time.

Thanks

emm .. lets try "vgchange" command that will trigger the synchronization of the LVs at a higher level.

# vgchange -a y /dev/vg_dblsb

The above will re-activate the VG and force synchronization. Let us know ..
