@tomp could you help plz?

4

@simos could you help plz?

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?

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.

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.
