LVM2 incorrectly reporting one of my drives are full

I have three drives in a LVM group and the pvdisplay is saying that one of my drives is full but when I look at df my system usage only says I'm using only a couple of gigs.  The following is the output of both pvdisplay, lvdisplay, and df:

Another question I have is why does one of my logical volumes show as /dev/dm-0 instead of /dev/mapper/system-root?

Re: LVM2 incorrectly reporting one of my drives are full

Allocatable           yes (but full)

from pvdisplay means that you have assigned the space on that PV to a logical volume.

DF doesn't show LVM physical volumes, it only displays data about filesystems on logical volumes.


sda3 and sdc1 are physical volumes, but are not assigned to  a LV, so that space is doing nothing atm.

your other question about dm-0 i don't have an answer fro.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: LVM2 incorrectly reporting one of my drives are full

That can't be right because sdb and sdc are only 250GB drives so how can I get away with having a 320GB partion when sda3 and sdc1 are not in my LV?  Is there a way to get more details about the status of my LVM setup?

Re: LVM2 incorrectly reporting one of my drives are full

looking at the reports again, my assumption that sda3 and sdc1 were not used in a LV was wrong.

you can try 'vgdisplay -v' 'pvdisplay -v'  and 'lvdisplay -v' to get more info.

I have a simpler setup then you with only 1 LV (home) , but below is the output of those 3 commands on my system :

  Free PE               36248
  Allocated PE          23370
  PV UUID               5aXwSX-CfqT-dGol-GEyl-2RTJ-WFvP-fycHZX

The only thing I can think of that would cause this, and let me know if my guess is correct, but the bulk of my system is on /dev/sdb1 and the rest is on /dev/sdc1 (going off of the information displayed from the "Total PE", "Free PE", "Allocated PE" from pvdisplay command.

Another question I have is why does one of my logical volumes show as /dev/dm-0 instead of /dev/mapper/system-root?

I also noticed this:

[root@namer ~]# ls -l /dev/vgdns/lvroot 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb  2 14:40 /dev/vgdns/lvroot -> ../dm-1
[root@namer ~]# df -h

An LVM2 bug or arch specific?
