PV duplicate problem OR / AND something else (can't create new VMs)

[discontented]

Hi All,

Have an issue with PM2.1. Been using this product for a while now, no real problems until today. A user go the following error when trying to to create a vm:

Found duplicate PV 40CYdqUd2ktKfq2Yx6NuKJ7hdQYLvTeG: using /dev/sdc not /dev/sdb
Found duplicate PV 40CYdqUd2ktKfq2Yx6NuKJ7hdQYLvTeG: using /dev/sdc not /dev/sdb
Found duplicate PV 40CYdqUd2ktKfq2Yx6NuKJ7hdQYLvTeG: using /dev/sdc not /dev/sdb
Found duplicate PV 40CYdqUd2ktKfq2Yx6NuKJ7hdQYLvTeG: using /dev/sdc not /dev/sdb
device-mapper: create ioctl on vmsan_vg-vm--137--disk--1 failed: Device or resource busy
TASK ERROR: create failed - lvcreate 'vmsan_vg/pve-vm-137' error: Failed to activate new LV.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting this right now, I've had a google around and nothing immediate jumps out at me hence why I'm writing here.

Bit of background: Until this AM, there was a VM using the same ID but that was destroyed, so good, so far. Since then, this error comes up whenever a user attempts to create a new VM (using GUI btw).

I can provide provide prints of lvdisplay, pvdisplay etc should they be required.

Any help will be very gratefully received.

Thank you in advance,

Rob

On the back of this, is there an easy way to force lvcreate to skip a number?
