I am trying to use pvcreate to create a physical volume and then use lvcreate to create a logical volume on Centos7.9. But, both pvcreate and lvcreate seem to be failing with error code 5.

/bin/lvm pvcreate -y -ff /dev/md7,/dev/md8,/dev/md12 returned 5 ... /bin/lvm lvcreate -y -L 16GB -n home groupB returned 5 I read elsewhere in the post: vgextend fails with error code 5 about vgextend failing due to root partition being mounted read-only. But, I have verified that it is not so in this case. Any idea why this could be happening?

ceh

Well, just exit code and no output to the terminal? – Nikita Kipriyanov Nov 14 '22 at 03:29
No. It just prints the exit code. – ceh Nov 14 '22 at 03:34
Try to make it verbose with `-v` to `-vvvv` and with `-d` to `-dddddd`. Just "exit code" probably isn't enough to know what's going on. – Nikita Kipriyanov Nov 14 '22 at 03:38
have you checked this https://serverfault.com/questions/100736/vgcreate-command-failed-with-status-code-5-what-does-this-mean, also error 5 mean `error getting status of logical volume` check the local volume first before creating. – asktyagi Nov 14 '22 at 06:02
