[SOLVED] /var/syslog on proxmox node

[doyler3000]

Hi all,
I'm getting the message below every 10 seconds on a couple of proxmox nodes (I have three in a non ha cluster with lvm-thin vmstores)

pvestatd[1061]: command '/sbin/vgscan --ignorelockingfailure --mknodes' failed: exit code 5

Everything seems to be working well. Snapshots, live migrations, backups etc, but should I be concerned about the failure?

Thanks...

Hi,
could you share the output of vgs and the content of /etc/pve/storage.cfg (please redact user names, public IPs if you have any network storages) for the node(s) where the error appears?

Hi Fabian,
thanks for the reply.
I worked out what the problem was.
On the first node I installed PVE using the defaults. Then, for this node, I made separate lvm-thin storage (called 'vmstore') from a hardware raid volume. I probably clicked something I shouldn't have and 'vmstore' was set to shared across the cluster.

As soon as I selected 'vmstore' in the cluster storage area and made it available to just the node it was on, then the errors disappeared from the other two nodes.
