hello,

What operation was you trying to do before getting this issue?

Have you tried export the vg in which the lvols are placed, create the vg directory, group file with , etc, and then vgimport on it .

In addition, if you try that, try to mv the /etc/lvmtab to another location and then run the vgscan -a -v to re-create the file.

Then try to use it again, check the numbers and let us know.

Regards,


Marco

Bonsoir

Rather strange, it should not happen.

Before anything else, I would control how many logical volumes this VG exactly contains. What is "Cur LV"/"Open LV" in vgdisplay ?
