Looking at your lvmdump -- pv0 { id = "8D67bX-xg4s-QRy1-4E8n-XfiR-0C2r-Oi1Blf" device = "/dev/sdc1" # Hint only status = ["ALLOCATABLE"] flags = [] dev_size = 7812456381 # 3.63796 Terabytes pe_start = 384 pe_count = 953668 # 3.63795 } This is how your PV was looking when you have created your VG. Obviously your device /dev/sdc1 had 7812456381 sectors. (Very strange to have odd number here....) Later you report # blockdev --getsz /dev/sdc1 as 7812441596 So we MUST start from the moment you tell us what you did to your system that suddenly your device is 14785 blocks shorter (~8MB) ? Have you reconfigured your /dev/sdc device? Is it HW raid5 device ? Have you repartitioned/resized it (fdisk,gparted) ? We can't move forward without knowing exact roots of your problem ? Everything else is pointless waste of time since we will just try to hunt some random piece of information? I just hope you have not tried to play directly with your /dev/sdc device (Since in some emails it seems you try to execute various command directly on this device) Zdenek
