Device-mapper Table Too Small For Target
not activate the volume with the vgchange command: vgchange -ay Attempts to run fsck.ext4 resulted in an error message about a bad superblock. The volume also became unresponsive, and the system would not run certain commands (even though the volume was not mounted, the device mapper process was probably corrupted). I also saw kernel messages like this in the system log: kernel: device-mapper: device 8:16 too small for target How I Undid the Damage
Vgchange Device-mapper: Reload Ioctl On Failed: Invalid Argument
When you have an LVM problem, don't panic. There is built-in undo/revert/restore feature in LVM2! Every time you change something, a file is automatically saved to /etc/lvm/archive (at least on an Ubuntu 14 system). I have NO IDEA why this feature is not more widely known! The command is vgcfgrestore: vgcfgrestore --file /etc/lvm/archive/name_of_archive_file VolumeGroupName NOTE: if you are running LVM commands when your system is booted from a recovery CD, the undo files are saved to the /etc directory on the RAM disk, which is wiped out when the system is rebooted. Be sure to copy all files from /etc/lvm/archive to another drive, such as a USB drive, so they will be available if you have to reboot. How I Resized the Volume Rodrigo Tamada figured out why lvextend sometimes fails when it attempts to automatically determine the amount of free space on the volume. The problem is that sometimes LVM does not correctly calculate the amount of free space on the physical volume. LVM then extends the logical volume beyond the extents of the physical volume. I followed the procedure suggested by Rodrigo, and it worked. First, look at the output of the lvdisplay command to find the name of the physical volume that the logical volume resides on. Then, run the pvresize command, no size specified, to change the ph
