hi, I found only three matches, two postings, for this, and no solution. may be you solved this problem back then, and can tell me about it. I cannot vgchange -a y : _pv_get_number_failed for rdev = 65535 _lvm_snapshot_fill_COW_page failed (I once toyed around with a snapshot, but never used it actually, and obviously never removed it again) so is there an "easy" solution except recreating the whole thing and hoping for some recent backup (which I doubt...) if theres no solution, is there a way to dd the data somewhere and mount -o loop it to get the data back? -- ,,, -- Lars (o o) ---o00-(_)-00o---- _______________________________________________ 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
