Hi all,

I am new to lvm. When I was trying to create a shared VG (vgcreate
--shared <vg_name> /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1) in my system and I received the
"device not cleared" error with sanlock and lvmlockd running. I've
searched the internet but nothing has solved my problem. So I'm here to
ask for your help.

It is mentioned in the main page under "creating the first sanlock VG"
that the first VG is created to get the global lock, so I create the VG
directly:

root@n151-143-035:~# vgcreate --lock-type sanlock --shared test

I set use_lvmlockd = 1 in the configuration file /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and
did not find useful log information in /var/log/syslog and /var/log
/sanlock.log. And I can successfully use and create lvm when
use_lvmlockd = 0.

Regards,

Zhiyong Ye
