Howdy,
Kernel 4.17, trying thin LV for the first time, and I'm getting this:
gargamel:~# lvcreate -L 14.50TiB -Zn -T vgds2/thinpool2
Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
Thin pool volume with chunk size 8.00 MiB can address at most <1.98 PiB of data.
/dev/mapper/vgds2-thinpool2_tmeta: open failed: No such file or directory
Failed to activate new LV.
any idea what I should try next?
gargamel:~# vgdisplay

to achieve with 'mkdir /dev/vgds2/' ? You shall never ever touch /dev content - it's always under full control of udev - if you start to create there your own files and directories you will break whole usability of the system. It's always udev having full control over all the symlinks there. If you do not want to use udev - you need to compiled lvm2 without udev support - in this case lvm2 will fallback to creation of all devices itself. However I can't image in which todays distribution you would want to use it.. Anyway - the best 'debugging' you will get with 'lvcreate -vvvv' it will always tell you what is failing.

Looks like my problem was that udev was too old, and there was no dependency for the newer package.

Hi These messages are informing you that your udev system and SysV semaphores support do not work properly together at all. In practice lvm2 detected semaphores are useless on your system and fallback to actually ignore them to not stay blocked endlessly waiting on udev work to get finished. So I'm unsure what are you trying to reach - are you building your own linux-from-scratch system - I doubt that any widely usable modern distro has such broken SysV support built-in in their mainstream kernel. IMHO if you are trying to build your own linux system yourself and you do not need udev otherwise at all - you could probably better build lvm2 without udev_sync support - so you will not see those ugly error messages with every creation command you will run.

I running debian/testing on a 32 bit server. The only thing is that I don't run 'dist-upgrade" regularly due to the amount of stuff that changes and breaks for no reason, usually at times I don't have time to deal with it. So, my udev was out of date for lvm2 and there was a missing package dependency on minimum version required. However, what I pasted above was with the latest udev version intesting, so there may be other missing dependencies or problems. I don't have systemd on that system, still regular init. I have sysvinit 2.88dsf-59.2 . Is that too old and causing issues too? Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
