Reproducible with: # grub-probe xyz , which on my machine produces 4 errors ('xyz' can be any meaningless string, of course): error: physical volume pv0 not found. error: physical volume pv0 not found. error: physical volume pv0 not found. error: physical volume pv0 not found. grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of xyz.
'grub-prove -v xyz' has these relevant lines: ... grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid09 RAID devices on disk bass-swap_1. error: physical volume pv0 not found. grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid09 RAID devices on disk bass-root. error: physical volume pv0 not found. ... grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid1x RAID devices on disk bass-swap_1. error: physical volume pv0 not found. grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid1x RAID devices on disk bass-root. error: physical volume pv0 not found. ... The devices, that appear to trigger the whining, are LVM volumes on a drive, that has a partition used as a PV; an ext2 boot partition is on the same drive. There are other volumes, but not on the same PV (but in the same VG). No RAID is in use on the system. I am reluctant to do much experimentation with this machine: it's a live production box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014159 Title: update-grub error: physical volume pv0 not found.
