-"howly magic lvm, batman"...it was that easy! :) btw.. I was digging though the /etc/lvmtab.d and /etc/lvmconf, thats the metadata right? I did a "strings /etc/lvmtab.d/raidset1" before I ran vgscan, and it listed the old device names. Should it have been possible to edit that file with a hexeditor and gotten the same result? Whats the difference between the dir /etc/lvmtab.d and /etc/lvmconf dir? /Regards Kalle >Kalle, > >any configuration change schould be happily covered by "vgscan ; vgchange -ay". > >vgscan figures out all PVs by UUID and groupd them together no matter to >which changed path they are attached. > >Regards, >Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- > > >On Thu, Aug 29, 2002 at 06:19:27AM -0500, kalle@idlar.nu wrote: >> Hello! >> >> We have a problem with one of our servers thats running lvm on linux-2.4.19. >> We have 4 discs in the vg, hdb, hdc, hdg and hdh. >> When we booted the server this morning hdc did not get online. >> We've tried diffrent cables but there seems to be some problem with the secondary controller. >> The disc gets online if we put it on the promise controller thats handeling hdg and hdh. >> >> Is it possible to "reconfigure" the vg so that the disk that once was hdc will be hdf?
