My question is: How can I restore one or more logical volumes in a big volume group with the constellation (system filesystems and "private filesystems") described later? I have one logical volume group named quant. This is placed in a physical volume that is a partition in a RAID 5 system on SUSE Linux 7.2 with Kernel 2.4. The quant volume group is divided into a lot of logical volumes. Some of them hold the filesystems /home /opt /tmp /var and the swap system. The other volumes have no file systems since they serve as a medium for informix database data. These database-logical-volumes are bound to raw devices. I tried to do a restore of one of the "private" logical volumes but it failed since I cannot down the volume group because of the file systems mentioned above (it was denied by the system) and on a running volume group there is no possibility to access the device since it is in use. Is there a possibility to handle that or to devide the volume group into two parts (that for the system file systems and another one for the data)? _______________________________________________ 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
