Linux WARNING: Duplicate VG name server1 LVM2 Error and Solution

by

The “WARNING: Duplicate VG name server1 LVM2” error occurs when you have multiple Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume groups with the same name on your Linux system.

To resolve this error, you will need to remove the duplicate volume group. Here’s how:

  1. Run the vgs command to list all of the volume groups on your system.
  2. Identify the duplicate volume group by its name (in this case, server1).
  3. Run the following command to remove the duplicate volume group:
vgremove <duplicate VG name>

Replace <duplicate VG name> with the name of the duplicate volume group (in this case, server1).

For example:

vgremove server1
  1. Verify that the duplicate volume group has been removed by running the vgs command again.

Note: Before removing a volume group, make sure that it is not in use by any logical volumes or file systems, as this could result in data loss.
