i would love to get a little bit more... i'm guessing that calling this command by itself without any input arguments would probably not fix the problem.

how do you know to use "/dev/vg01/lvol10". where did you get that from?

why did you put "/dev/sdk3"?

Sorry, i was busy. The /dev/sdk3 is the physical volume of your machine. For instance, for you, it might /dev/sda2. The /dev/vg01/lvol10

Hi, sorry I was busy. This command is for example purpose only. It depends how do you install lvm in your system. The /dev/vg01/lvol01 is the logical volume 01 on the volume group 01. The /dev/sdk3 is the partition where the volume group is installed. In your case, the physical partition is /dev/sda2. So you must find what the volume group associated with this partition. bobcares.com/blog/?p=137
