Unable to delete the core storage logical volume

So I get the grey loading bar on the apple logo screen on bootup that get's to the end and then my iMac turns off. This happens everytime. I went into disk utility (CMD-R) and tried to format the partition and get the error message: Unable to delete the core storage logical volume - I should also mention that the OS X partition is greyed out and is marked as having 0GB free (which is false) and I can't select that partition to do a fresh install of OS X on.
I should mention that on my HDD I have a OS X partition and a bootcamp partitiion and this is the second time I have this issue. How can I fix my OS X partition without having reinstall bootcamp as I have 1TB of stuff on it.
Any ideas?

I have taken some screenshots of the error I get and the state of my HDD in Disk Utility. I did have a weird thing happen after trying to repair using single user mode, where I reopened disk utility and the partitions were NOT greyed out and displayed the correct info concerning space available etc, although after verifying it then reverted back to greyed out with no info.

Huh. Well, maybe that's why.
It was certainly happy enough to let me MAKE a LVG with multiple LVFs. Do you mean it just doesn't support encryption on a LVG with multiple LVFs?

Yosemite install fails: "not enough free space in the Core Storage Logical Volume Group for this operation"

This is on a Mac Mini, running Mavericks, with a fusion drive (1TB/128GB), and 85GB free space.
Any ideas?

I too experienced the Low Disk space event… I hit the restart button and the install started again… I thought I got caught in a loop.
On the third time seeing the crawl bar for the Yosemite install I hit the Power Button and force killed the whole process.
Upon rebooting I saw horizontal black and white bars across the screen and VERY Slow everything.
Boot, Icon Bounce, Application Launch, Keyboard response… etc.
I was able to get to the Desktop and then I re-installed Yosemite. Dragging a window was laggy, and jerky…
On the third install of Yosemite things improved some, almost but not quite as fast as Mavericks … Some improvement but copy/writes remained very slow.
I now notice that some Applications such as “Clean My Mac” fail to launch and am still finding out if all are functional.
I have a home rolled Fusion Drive.
Currently I am considering a Clean Yosemite install and a TM restore.
Console and Activity Monitor report callservicesd and Chromehelper among others not responding…
I am on hold for the last ten minutes to Apple Support... They must be VERY busy today...

Volume encrypt and erase failed; unable to delete core storage logical volume

I was attempting to slowly migrate [MI-***] from early 2013 MBPRO to New iMac 5K w/Ceiling Level components.
Kept going through LONG process and then told me it couldn't create [MBPRO HD Home Username] "Jim" on volume or whatever. NO FileVault enabling/ still skittish from White iMac Encrypting Nightmare days... I don't even know -- I guess it's encrypted on Airport, but not on MBPRO.
Moved over Applications from outside User account fine; anything inside any User account NOT FINE.
Hooked up Thunderbolt cable between two macs and restarted MBPRO in T mode... displaying the lightning BOLT on screen that moves around to reduce Burn-in.
Was able to go onto desktop and use windows to drag n drop 190G of movies over to iMac... wondering how I was going to get all right settings over form FCP...
Bottom Line: I only have 16G left on MBPRO and need to MOVE video editing to be exclusive on 3T Fusion on Maxed out iMac 5K.
> Have concluded through whole process that I just want to clone the MBPRO and then delete most of the Larger Videos from MBPRO to recover some of my 760G SSD back.
So, I grabbed my 2T Airport Extreme and Hooked up the Cat5 LAN port to Cat5 input on back of NEW iMac; Now my MBPRO doesn't have to be locked up for days, because i can use TimeMachine backup to restore or clone the two macs... i hope.
Went into recovery mode and selected sub-Macintosh HD and attempted to erase; Result time after time after time: "Volume Encrypt and Erase failed." Reason: "Unable to delete the Core Storage logical volume." It dismounts it and I have to restart computer to get it back on. Funny thing is I don't have to use R anymore... which by the way, Command+R appears to be same as just plain old R when restarting... why is that?
This has become a "since Christmas" runaround session for me and I am sick of it.
Please help. I would've called Apple Care [and I did last night while driving... just to get advice on direction. I'm usually a pretty savvy PowerUser but this is driving me crazy.] but have to get things done for a meeting tomorrow. Can work on it after hours if someone can advise today on this post.
Thx,
Jim

-69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online.....What Now?

Hey,
I'll start from the begining.
I have a 1TB that was running Mavericks, which I decided to perform Firevault 2. Anyway my hard drive crashed and now I have Mavericks running on a different 250 gig hard drive and have been trying to decrypt my original 1tb harddrive through terminal.
So I originally did the "diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase thing and it said that it could not mount it but I notice that it was converting. So after 6 hours the converting stopped and now it says that decyrption is no longer neccessary and that it needs to be reverted. So I am try to revert it with terminal and it tells me that it is unable to find mount point. So ive been trying to mount the disk and comes up with the above error -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online. So does anybody have any suggestions??
-Thank you

To anybody that read this and has the same sort of problem:
I just recovered my stuff using stellar pheonix Mac Data Recovery, even after I coundnt mount it on my other mac machine. Great software.

Error: -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online

Hi,
I have a filevault encrypted drive (750GB).
I first noticed a problem when it prompted my for the FileVault passphrase (which I had stored in my keychain) and entering the correct passphrase resulted in the typical "error" response (the sideways "bouncing" entry field) asking me for the passphrase again.
So I get a list of the corestorage to get the UUID of the encrypted volume:

BTW: after a while I also hear a single clicking sound (head jumping back on drive) so I am not sure if it might be a physical disk failure.
Any ideas anyone?

Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase which returned "Error: -69854: A disk with a mount point is required"
Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage changeVolumePassword UUID -newpassphrase which returned "Error beginning CoreStorage Logical Volume unlock: The target Core Storage volume is not encrypted (-69755)"

Unable to delete the files from CSV volumes on HyperV Cluster

Hello There,
I have a HyperV failover cluster with CSV Volumes recently i moved some of the VMs to another cluster.
VMs are moved but i still have the VM files on the CSV volumes which are occupying the disk space i tried to delete the VHD files / VM folders which are moved but it doesn't delete the files, please suggest.
This file when i browse it from a server and delete the file it disappears but when i revisit the folder i find the files still on the disk, i did try to delete the files directly
from the server through command line as it is running server core.
Regards,
Maqsood

HyperV is good about not allowing you to delete files while they are still in use. You can try to reboot host, make sure all parts if your VM moved to the new location. If that VHD is associated with a VM on any host you will not be able to delete
it. Delete the VM's that may have links to it. Not knowing you configuration could it be a parent disk? Be carful because if you can't delete it it's likely in use, I've see VHD merge after you delete a VM too preventing you from deleting the files.
You may just want to wait a day or so and see if it free's up. If it is doing a merge reboot will pause and restart it so you won't be able to remove until the merge is done, once you delete a VM and a merge starts there is no way to tell if it's merging,
watch the size and timestamp of the VHD is it changing if it is something is using it.

FileVault Failed: Unable to create a new Core Storage logical volume group.

So when I try to enable FileVault on my Retina MBP, I go through all the steps and hit restart.
The program then hangs for about 30 seconds and gives me the above error.
It never restarts and never turns on FileVault.
Any ideas?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window.

Partition failed: A problem occurred while resizing Core Storage physical volume structures

Hi everybody,
I have just installed Yosemite on my iMac and everything works right.
iMac 27" late 2012
3,4 Ghz intel core i7
32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
3TB Fusion drive.
Now I need to create a bootable partition to install a copy of Mavericks because some FCPX plugins do not work on Yosemite.
To create a new partition I use Disc Utility, but each time I try to create it the mac show me this error:
partition failed A problem occurred while resizing Core Storage physical volume structures
Why?
What can I do?
P.S. FCPX does not work on a virtual machine, so I have to install it on a new partition
Thanks

Ditto here.
Same problem - I have a Apple_Corestorage partition that can't be unlocked.
You have to do this command to free up the Corestorage partition
diskutil coreStorage delete logicalGroupUUID
In your case, it'll be:
diskutil coreStorage delete E2CDC5FC-DA6E-4F43-B524-8925ABB23883

Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

I cannot fully uninstall iTunes because I am unable to delete the commonfiles\apple folder

I received error 42404 after updating to itunes 11, and have attempted to follow the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. However, my Vista will not let me delete the commonfiles\apple folder. How can I delete it?
The day of iTunes 11's release, I updated my iTunes, then opened up the prgm to take a look at it. I was immediately brought to the attention that the program didn't install correctly (with error 42404), so I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, with the same error coming up. I continued to use iTunes and see if i could ignore the issue, however I discovered I was unable to log into my itunes acount on the store.
So I followed the isntructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 correctly, deleted the remaining files/folders, except I am still unable to delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. I attempt to delete it, it asks me for permission to do so, I say continue, and even after I give it permission to delete the folder, it instantly says to me, "You need permission to perform this action," and it gives me the options to cancel or try again (which immediately brings this same window up again asking me to try again).
I've done plenty of research for the past two days, from attempting to delete the individual files within this folder via the Command Prompt, using Safe Mode, and many other options, yet nothing works. I've seen many forums advise using a program called "Unlocker," however, anyone googling the program will find that it is offered from a plethora of various sites, and I honestly dont trust programs from these sites.
Is there ANYTHING anyone knows to do for an issue like this? All I need is that one folder deleted, and all my problems are gone!

It still didn't work...
Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources

Deleting the core file in HP Unix is it recommended for SAP?

when killing the work process select the option for cancel with core option then it generates the core file in HP UNIX .When i go to tcode ST11 core file length is 108,828,880.if we delete the core file in OS level is there any issue.

No there is no issue, its only a Dump file to allow for further investigation why the process hung...
You can delete them without an issue... they are very big so they consume allot of valuable storage space....

Hi,
Are there other activated requests on top of this requests?
In that case it wont let you delete this request unless those requests are also deleted.
Try to change the status to red and delete.
Else try this.
Delete requests manually from the ODS tables.
1. tcode se16.
2. delete the request in these tables : RSICCONT (delete activated requests OR
Make the selective deletion of the contents of that request), RSMONICDP, RSODSACTREQ (give the name of the ODS and the
request ID and delete all the entries pertaining to this selection in that table.), RSODSACTUPDTYPE.
The request will be removed from your ODS.
