<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [libvirt] Libvirt storage api and lvm .cache issue</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Lvremove does not properly remove it from the .cache. Perhaps that is the bug. I’ll investigate more ( I’m using lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5). -bash-3.2$ sudo cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache | grep tom "/dev/sys/tomtest2", "/dev/mapper/sys-tomtest2", -bash-3.2$ sudo lvremove /dev/sys/tomtest2 Do you really want to remove active logical volume tomtest2? [y/n]: y Logical volume "tomtest2" successfully removed -bash-3.2$ sudo cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache | grep tom "/dev/sys/tomtest2", "/dev/mapper/sys-tomtest2", Thanks Tom On 8/9/10 4:52 PM, "Daniel P.

When deleting LV's in libvirt, we simply call our to lvremove, which I assume would clear up .cache entries.
