This article describes the issue with Acronis Secure Zone creation in Linux
Symptoms
- You have a Linux machine with LVM partition at the end of disk layout, for example:
Num Partition Flags Start Size Type GUID -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- Disk 1 81,920 MB PS_MBR 1-1 /boot (hda1) Pri,Act 0.031 MB 101.9 MB Ext 2 1-2 hda2 Pri 102 MB 14,998 MB FAT 32 1-3 / (hda3) Pri 15,100 MB 10,001 MB Ext 3 1-5 /var (hda5) 25,102 MB 10,001 MB Ext 3 1-6 /usr (hda6) 35,103 MB 10,001 MB Ext 3 Unallocated-1-1 Unallocated 81,917 MB 2.62 MB Dynamic volumes: Dyn1 VolGroup00-LogVol00 80,113 MB 1,792 MB Ext 3 CFB8A872-F089-... Dyn2 VolGroup00-LogVol01 45,105 MB 35,008 MB Ext 3 EE46FA21-F5C9-...
- You install Agent for Linux on this machine
- You try to create Acronis Secure Zone on the Linux machine (e.g acrocmd create asz --disk=1 --volume=1-2)
- The process fails with the following error:
An error occurred while executing the command.Error: 0x1510008$module = "acrocmd_lx_38574"Tag: 0x7A8E520180FDC065Failed to change the volume.

Cause
Acronis Secure Zone is always created at the end of the disk layout. If there is LVM partition at the end and no unallocted space after it, the process fails because LVM partition cannot be moved.
Solution
As a temporary workaround, you can leave some unallocated space after the LVM partition. The problem should be fixed in a future version of Acronis Backup.
