So, Found the 1.0.4.-pre1.tar.bz2, compiled, installed (Hey, the fix to the 'cast' problem was already in there, although an old version of the file was also!) Was: Unable to clear last PE >Well, you hit the cast problem I reported a fix for on linux-lvm shortly >after the LVM 1.0.3 release. Now: - it *IS* possible to do the vgscan - it *IS* possible to turn the volume active again - it *IS* possible to do PV move again, and it does NOT fail on PE 127 anymore - ALL data was still there ! - Everything is up and running ! - I am very very very happy !!! Thanks a LOT, keep up the amazing work !! Very kind regards, Denie Andriessen ----- Original Message ----- <LOTS CUT OUT> Hi, So now the volume is inactive, I can't change it, although it notices there is an inactive volume on the disks... hdb1 and hdc1 both have 127 blocks on there now, and hdg1 has 2*127 block removed. I can't access the data anymore now... Any suggestions on how to get the volume back online, so the data can be accessed ??? ------------- vgscan -- only found 20391 of 20518 LEs for LV /dev/volume/data (0) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" can't get data of volume group "volume" from physical volume(s) ------------- On Tue, Mar 05, 2002 at 02:50:19AM +0100, Denie Andriessen wrote: > Hi, > > Could it be the: "known misalignment issue we had in the 0.9.1 Beta series" > (after reading through lots of messages) > https://mail.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2002-February/010724.html Yes, that's my guess. > > Is an upgrade 'dangerous' ? (risk of loosing data) Well, the way to go is: - pvmove /dev/hdf2 # move your data back to /dev/hdf1 - vgreduce test12 /dev/hdf2 - update to LVM 1.0.3 (or wait for 1.0.4 which will be released soon) - pvcreate /dev/hdf2 - vgextend test12 /dev/hdf2 - pvmove /dev/hdf1 > > Cheers, > Denie > _______________________________________________ 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
