Subject: [linux-lvm] metadata device too small
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2020 18:57:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8788b5db-6667-6060-e66a-beab7d3a56fc@nebelschwaden.de> (raw)
After having swapped a 2,2T thinpool metadata device for a 16GB one,
I've run into a transaction id mismatch. So run lconvert --repair on the
thinvolume - in fact, I've had to run the repair twice, as the
transaction id error persisted after the first run.
Now ever since I cannot activate the thinpool any more:
[root]# lvchange -ay VG_Raid6/ThinPoolRaid6
WARNING: Not using lvmetad because a repair command was run.
Activation of logical volume VG_Raid6/ThinPoolRaid6 is prohibited
while logical volume VG_Raid6/ThinPoolRaid6_tmeta is active.
So disable them and try again:
[root]# lvchange -an VG_Raid6/ThinPoolRaid6_tdata
WARNING: Not using lvmetad because a repair command was run.
[root]# lvchange -an VG_Raid6/ThinPoolRaid6_tmeta
WARNING: Not using lvmetad because a repair command was run.
[root]# lvchange -ay VG_Raid6/ThinPoolRaid6
WARNING: Not using lvmetad because a repair command was run.
device-mapper: resume ioctl on (253:3) failed: Invalid argument
Unable to resume VG_Raid6-ThinPoolRaid6-tpool (253:3).
And from the journal:
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:3: metadata device (4145152 blocks) too
small: expected 4161600
kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:3: thin-pool: preresume failed, error
= -22
Despite not using ubuntu, I may have been bitten by this bug(?), as my
new metadata partion happens to be 16GB:
"If pool meta is 16GB , lvconvert --repair will destroy logical volumes."
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1625201
Is there any way to make the data accessible again?
