Hello all, i am a total newbie besides the general knowledge of lvm. With this disclaimer written I have the following problem, which may def need some expert knowledge of lvm, because i couldn't find solutions online for now :/ I am booting my system (in my case is Qubes, but I suppose that does not matter at this point) and after entering my luks password get to the dracut emergency shell. /"Check for pool qubes-dom/pool00 failed (status:1). Manual repair required!"/ The only aclive lv is qubes_dom0/swap. All the others are inactive. step 1: /lvm vgscan vgchange -ay lvm lvconvert --repair qubes_dom0/pool00/ Result: /using default stripesize 64.00 KiB. Terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): transaction_manager::new_block() couldn't allocate new block Child 7212 exited abnormally Repair of thin metadata volume of thin pool qubes_dom0/pool00 failed (status:1). Manual repair required!/ step 2: since i suspect that my lvm is full (though it does mark 15 g as free) i tried the following changes in the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf thin_pool_autoextend_threshold = 80 thin_pool_autoextend_percent = 2 (Since my the pvs output gives PSize: 465.56g Pfree 15.78g, I set this to 2% to be overly cautious not to extend beyond the 15 G marked as free, since idk) auto_activation_volume_list = to hold the group, root, pool00, swap and a vm that would like to delete to free some space volume_list = the same as auto_activation_volume_list and tried step 1 again, did not work, got the same result as above with qubes_swap as active only step 3 tried /lvextend -L+1G qubes_dom0/pool00_tmeta/ Result: /metadata reference count differ for block xxxxxx, expected 0, but got 1 ... Check for pool qubes-dom/pool00 failed (status:1). Manual repair required!/ Since I do not know my way around lvm, what do you think, would be the best way out of this? Adding another external PV? migrating to a bigger PV? I did not play with backup or achive out of fear to loose any unbackuped data which happens to be a bit :| Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance, m
