Hello again everybody!
I have a 3-node cluster running Proxmox 6.2-4, with ceph storage. On one of my nodes, I was trying to create a new VM on the local-lvm pve/data storage but it is failing.
Activation of logical volume pve/data is prohibited while logical volume pve/data_tmeta is active.
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 123 - lvcreate 'pve/vm-123-disk-0'
error: Aborting. Failed to locally activate thin pool pve/data.
It looks like this error from this post, but this post is related to the local-lvm storage on a single node system (not cluster).
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/logical-volume-pve-data-is-not-a-thin-pool.54677/
I've attached an image of lvs -a output which shows the attributes of the pve local-lvm that are incorrect.
I'm afraid to follow those instructions from the link above, because this would require blowing away and recreating the local-lvm on 1 of the nodes in the cluster. Will this affect the other nodes (local-lvm). I'd really like to use that partition to store one of my VMs since I don't wish to use ceph storage for non-critical VMs. What are my options here?
Here are some additional details:
