Hi,
Why theses 4 PV lost UUID? Have some hardware change ?
It's not common this happen, just lost LVM Meta Data on PV, something
wrong happened.
The problem is reconstruct meta information about Mapping of blocks ( PE
) to LV, if your LV used blocks mapped across the four disk, I recommend
you running check file system.. e2fsck to repair.
Well if e2fsck don't solve this problem, it time find out the last
backup. :(
best regards,
