I can the work I was supposed to do, but would like to understand what's going on...... lvcreate -L 1G -n TEST vg_mysql_bk Aborting. Failed to activate new LV to wipe the start of it. vgdisplay -v vg_mysql_bk Using volume group(s) on command line Finding volume group "vg_mysql_bk" --- Volume group --- VG Name vg_mysql_bk System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 3 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 0 Open LV 0 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 250.00 GB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 63999 Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 Free PE / Size 63999 / 250.00 GB VG UUID orekvq-dWqZ-uXs8-gETe-WkyG-adTO-YHdHPh --- Physical volumes --- PV Name /dev/sdl1 PV UUID pw80TN-xYP2-FY4T-ASWF-PpIe-j6vo-WNQTtG PV Status allocatable Total PE / Free PE 63999 / 63999 On Tuesday 26 May 2009 21:30:40 Jonathan Brassow wrote: > what happens if you remove the '--test' from your command? > > brassow > > On May 26, 2009, at 12:01 PM, jose nuno neto wrote: > > HI > > > > I'm running into some problems with lvm on redhat. > > I'm trying to create a snapshot but gives always a error > > " Aborting.
