pvcreate give error of reading
I have several volumes and I was able to create pvcreate for mpathe and it generated it without any issue, however, when I want to do it for
mpathdI am getting the following error
pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpathd Error reading device /dev/mapper/mpathd at 0 length 512. Error reading device /dev/mapper/mpathd at 0 length 4. Error reading device /dev/mapper/mpathd at 4096 length 4. Error reading device /dev/mapper/mpathd at 0 length 512. Error reading device /dev/mapper/mpathd at 0 length 4. Error reading device /dev/mapper/mpathd at 4096 length 4.
what should I do to solve this ? how to find what is wrong ?
some info that could be useful
ls -l /dev/mapper/mpathb* lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Jun 3 06:03 /dev/mapper/mpathb -> ../dm-3
and also I added this in a filter (found here https://access.redhat.com/discussions/2423461)
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf file filter = [ "a|/dev/sda|", "a|/dev/mapper/*|" , "r/block/", "r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]
it did not work and I got the same error.
I also tried to fdisk it but I got this error
fdisk /dev/mapper/mpathd fdisk: cannot open /dev/mapper/mpathd: Input/output error
I don't know what I should do to fix this issue
