Cookbook version

2.1

Chef-client version

version 12.8.1

Platform Details

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 (Santiago)

Scenario:

execute lvm_physical_volume physical_volumes.to_s on subsequent executions of the chef client

Steps to Reproduce:

lvm_physical_volume physical_volumes.to_s

lvm_volume_group group.to_s do
physical_volumes physical_volumes.to_s
end

lvm_logical_volume name.to_s do
group group.to_s
size size.to_s
filesystem filesystem.to_s
mount_point mount_point.to_s
if stripes.to_i > 0
stripes = stripes.to_s
end
end

If I comment out the lvm_physical_volume it completes. So its not detecting that the pvcreate has already been run.

Expected Result:

to see the pvcreate has already been executed and continue execution of cookbook.

Actual Result:

================================================================================
Error executing action `create` on resource 'lvm_physical_volume['/dev/sdb']'
================================================================================

LVM::External::ExternalFailure
------------------------------
Fatal error, `/sbin/lvm pvcreate '/dev/sdb'` returned 5 with 'Can't initialize physical volume "/dev/sdb" of volume group "vg01" without -ff'
