#3

@tomp could you help plz?

#4

@simos could you help plz?

#5

I’ve not encountered that error myself before, but a quick search suggests using the command:

sudo lvconvert --repair <thinpool>

Please can you show the output of sudo lvs?

#8

The thin pool is /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool (indicated by the t in the Attr col). Try running it on that.

So:

sudo lvconvert --repair /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool
#9

lvconvert --repair /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool

that means by run this command?

#10

You’ll also need to deactivate it by the looks of it:

sudo lvchange -an /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool
#11

Plz give me the sequence command. I don’t know which one will 1st

#12

I don’t know the sequence of commands, we are exploring this problem together :slight_smile:

#13
  1. sudo lvchange -an /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool
  2. lvconvert --repair /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool

OR

1.lvconvert --repair /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool
2. sudo lvchange -an /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool

#14

My thinking was:

sudo lvchange -an /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool
sudo lvconvert --repair /dev/vg1/LXDThinPool

Although I just tried this now on one of my test boxes and it complains about lack of disk space.

Please can you show output of sudo pvs for me too.

#16

And what were you doing immediately before this issue started occurring?

#17

vgscan --cache
lvchange -ay /dev/vg1/vol1

Alaways I have run those command then start container but lasta from yesterday after run those command container doesn’t start

#18

And what is vol1 in relation to your LXD containers?

#19

My container get storage from lvm.

#20

You mean its attached as a custom volume? Because your container’s root disks are on /dev/my-lvm/ volume group. Just wondering why you needed to keep scanning the volume and then activating it.
