Failed to get offset of the xfs_external_log signature
Issue
- Why, after deleting a logical volume that contained a XFS filesystem and creating a new logical volume, do I observe the following error message?
# lvcreate -L 16m -n lv1 vg1
WARNING: xfs signature detected on /dev/vg1/lv1 at offset 0. Wipe it? [y/n]: y
Wiping xfs signature on /dev/vg1/lv1.
Failed to get offset of the xfs_external_log signature on /dev/vg1/lv1.
