Failed to wipe start of new LV. semid 1212424: semop failed for cookie 0xd4d132f: incorrect semaphore state Failed to set a proper state for notification semaphore identified by cookie value 223154991 (0xd4d132f) to initialize waiting for incoming notifications. pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name bubba PV Size 455.43 GiB / not usable 3.65 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 116588 Free PE 108856 Allocated PE 7732 PV UUID SMvR2K-6Z3c-xCgd-jSR2-kb1A-15a2-3RiS6V The lvm version is: lvm version LVM version: 2.02.111(2) (2014-09-01) Library version: 1.02.90 (2014-09-01) Driver version: 4.22.0 I'm not sure whether was on this system created the VG 'bubba' with lvm version 1, so maybe this issue is related to that fact that it was really created with lvm version 1? What is the solution for my problem? -- Regards from Pal
