I just had a power outage and now I cannot remount my LVM volumes. I have to volume groups each with one logical volume. Each vg is striped across two luns. I started getting the errors: vgscan -- ERROR: logical volume "/dev/sdd_vol2/lv1" reuses an existing device number; please vgexport/vgimport that VG I was using lvm-1.0.2 at the time so I could not run vgscan -f. So I upgraded my 2.4.14 kernel to lvm-1.1-rc2 and gave it a try. Now I vgscan will not complain about the logical volumes, but I still cannot mount the ext3 filesystems that are installed on the volumes. I am now getting the error message: [root@x06 /root]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd_vol2/ /export/sdd_vol2 mount: /dev/sdd_vol2/ is not a block device IO nodes have gone down in the past due to power interruptions, but I have never had this catastrophic of a problem. I have 16 volume groups, and 3 or 4 appear to be affected. Any ideas?
