/etc/lvm/lock problem
Hi,

I amnot able to execute any svm command. it gives the below message and hangs:

# metadetach d50 d30
metadetach: waiting on /etc/lvm/lock
^Cmetadetach: Interrupt


# metaclear d50
metaclear: waiting on /etc/lvm/lock
^Cmetaclear: Interrupt


Please advice.

Regards,
Sagar.

is there a file called "/etc/lvm/lock" on your system? if not, create it... do other "meta..." commands work? like "metastat" and if yes, what ist the output? also of "metadb".
