Hi:

I got problem when I configuring the LVM in RHEL 4, I set it as follow, as " A". There are 2 VG, and the problem is in VGICIL. VGICIL contains 3 PV on 2 disks. It was set by vendor, but it doesn't follow our requirement due to they didn't set mirror on original LV, so I deleted the old LV and wanted to create mirrored LV.  But when I create LV, it came out the error, in B section, but it really created the mlog of this LV. And now I can't create a LV or delete the VG, anyone please help to fix it? Thanks.
