I was then able to run xen-create-image again and it recreated the LVs. To answer Sven's question: "What is your actual intention?", I'm trying to rerun xen-create-image so that I can create this xen virtual machine. I could not do that because it failed trying to recreate the root LV. -- Guy Rouillier --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
