Well I guess it, but you didn't mention if you had success to recover. Was it quorum (we are implementing it with LVM2 BTW) which helped and have you been lucky that at least a part of your LVs where sitting on other than the gone disk? Otherwise you probably had your VG back but no usable data. > (I know, but I was told by the > people in charge that backups were not needed - that's why > I left). Probably a good choice to leave if they don't understand such basics and you couldn't convince them. > I really like EVMS and can't wait for it to be in 2.5 and > then 2.6 (just keep up the patches for 2.4 please :) EVMS hallelujah on linux-lvm? ;-) > > Jeff Layton > > > > > > > > Steve > > > > EVMS Development - http://www.sf.net/projects/evms > > Linux Technology Center - IBM Corporation > > (512) 838-9763 EMAIL: SLPratt@US.IBM.COM > > > > _______________________________________________ > > linux-lvm mailing list > > linux-lvm@sistina.com > > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html > > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
