Starting my upgrade to to 5.2.6 from 5.1.x

I started with the Control Center upgrade going from 1.18 to 1.3.3

When I run
systemctl start serviced && journalctl -u serviced -f -o cat

I get the following error:

[root@cabzen5 ~]# systemctl start serviced && journalctl -u serviced -f -o cat

Any help on this one?

Hi

Are you using loopback files for devicemapper? If this is the case you should check your SERVICED_ALLOW_LOOP_BACK variable in
/etc/default/serviced.

/etc/default/serviced

# Set to true to allow use of loopback files (instead of thin pools) with devicemapper for serviced storage.

# NOTE: This is not recommended for production use.

# SERVICED_ALLOW_LOOP_BACK=false

I ended up downloading the latest OVA 5.2.4, installing, then importing my backup devices file.

All is good again.
