Hi, I have 3 hard drives in a few PVs in one VG, and one of the hard drives (IBM 75 GXP, 46GB) crashed today... It can't be read at all or even detected by my BIOS. When I connect it to the IDE bus no discs on that interface are found at all... The broken disc contains about half of one LV. It's OK for me to loose the data on this LV, but I would VERY much like to have the data on the other LV's located on other hard drives. Problem is that I can't remove the LV and PV from my VG if the VG is not active and I can't activate the VG if not all discs with PV's in it are online. How do I remove the LV (I know that only one LV is on the broken disc) and then remove the PV from my VG without activating the VG? Or, how do I activate the VG without all discs online? I saw something about vgchange -a y -q n /dev/vg but that does not work with my 1.0.4 version vgchange, and not with the 1.0.6 that I downloaded and installed either... I'm using GNU/Linux Debian Woody with 2.4.20-rc2 kernel and lvm 1.0.4. I would be VERY happy if anyone gave me some advice! Hopefully as soon as possible! -- -------------------------------------- Olof Aldin <so@barbanet.com> _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
