  • device-mapper: reload ioctl on (253:21) failed: Cannot allocate memory When activating the vg with vgchange

    Posted on

    Hi All,

    I am getting an error when activating the VG with vgchange command.

    vgchange -a y case_volume
    device-mapper: reload ioctl on (253:21) failed: Cannot allocate memory
    0 logical volume(s) in volume group "case_volume" now active.

    Found one Redhat Article which says it will work on the second attempt or later but it never worked for me and getting continous error.

    Regards,
    Ashish
