lvm - LVM2 : Failing to pvcreate a block device -
i'm trying make use of lvm2 functionality in linux (centos6.0). when trying make first step of defining pv on specific block device, following error message:
[root@localhost /] pvcreate /dev/sdb can't open /dev/sdb exclusively. mounted filesystem?
/dev/sdb not mounted , partition table deleted. should mention /dev/sdb used represent larger block device (about 4 times larger) , reduced configuration of hardware raid (i split hd 4 in raid controller).
has ever encountered error before , knows how take here?
maybe device-mapper 'stealing' device. try this:
[root@host ~]# dmsetup ls sdb (253, 2) volgroup00-logvol01 (253, 1) volgroup00-logvol00 (253, 0) if find sdb device listed above example, remove using dmsetup , create physical volume:
[root@host ~]# dmsetup remove sdb [root@host ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb physical volume "/dev/sdb" created
