Hello, I have a problem with my vg00 - the LVM doesn't have it any more. I found such postings in the list archive, but I don't want to restore - as I think. To the problem: I had 10 disks in my Computer (/dev/sda.../dev/sdj) in the vg00. Then I have 2 of them (/dev/sdj and /dev/sdi) unplugged. I hoped it would be no problem for the LVM to work with the rest 8, but it doesn't do. I dont' worry about the volumes on the sdi and sdj, but the other volumes are a problem... So why the LVM dosn't see the other disks as well? Thanks a lot for your help Dmitri # vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "vg00" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sda4" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdb3" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdc" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdd" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sde" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdf" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdg" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdh" is associated to unknown VG "vg00" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 8 [200.21 GB] / in use: 8 [200.21 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net _______________________________________________ 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
