I've got Linux 2.4.20 patched with LVM 1.0.6 up and running. During a power outage, my system rebooted and my volume group didn't came up. One of the PVs in this VG shows like this: -->-->-->-- fullmoon:~# pvdisplay /dev/md/4 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md/4 VG Name vg00 PV Size 57.81 GB [121242368 secs] / NOT usable 16.18 MB [LVM: 138 KB] PV# 3 PV Status NOT available Allocatable yes (but full) Cur LV 1 PE Size (KByte) 16384 Total PE 3699 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 3699 PV UUID nyoJQM-GYcF-wzWK-H80y-5bgs-UHIs-VhINj6 --<--<--<-- How can its status changed back to available? All other PVs in this VG have status == available. When I'm running vgscan and vgchange -a y my volume group cannot be found: -->-->-->-- fullmoon:~# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "pv_read_all_pv_of_vg(): PV number" 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 fullmoon:~# vgchange -a y vgchange -- no volume groups found fullmoon:~# --<--<--<-- Any hints about how to fix this? -- <https://trash.net/~thomasb/> PGP and OpenPGP encrypted mail preferred.
