Dear Sirs, this is the second mail. I tried it this noon but got no answer so far, but our whole production is down and I really have to fix it. We use SUSE 7.3 with LVM. I have got /var and /tmp and /opt an /home and many Partitions without a filesystem for our database on a logical volume group named quant. The system was up and running. I added (with YAST2) one more logical volume to the volume group, applied an restarted. The restart ist "strange", since only parts of the systems come up. For instance the /var directory claims to be mounted but is empty and cannot be mounted, for they are not mounted !! In /procs/ not filesystem is shown as mountet. The / filesystem, which is out of the VM is in a read only state, some files are there others are gone. When I do vgdisplay the VM is shown as available, when I do vgdisplay -D it is shown as unavailable. I cannot afford any tests, since I do not have a backup of the database data from today. It looks for me as if the addition of the new logical volume wrote some information in a place where it does not belong. Can I recover the old state without loosing information? With best regards Gesine Schäfer-Reimers quant GmbH ++49/40/254078-70 _______________________________________________ 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
