Hi,

another LVM operation is in progress (like lvextend for example). Try again later or check with ps -ef.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
It looks that LVM is busy with some other operation.You wait for sometime then try the command..better check for processes using ps & stop one whose using the LVM . then try the command.
