Hiya. I've just upgraded my kernel, and on booting my LVM setup isn't recognised. Going back to the old kernel, it still isn't. Running vgscan gives: vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "pvg" vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" can't get data of volume group "pvg" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" creating "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" OK, create a new vg and import? vgcreate gives: vgcreate -- ERROR: "/etc/lvmtab" doesn't exist; please run vgscan and pvscan gives: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda3" is associated to an unknown VG (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda4" is associated to an unknown VG (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 2 [16.88 GB] / in use: 2 [16.88 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Where do I go from here - vgcfgrestore? uuid_fixer? Even something really smelly! Thanks, Bill (Sorry if this comes over a bit garbled, I'm posting using lynx, 'coz pine's somewhere on /dev/hda4 ...) _______________________________________________ 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
