-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, when I start up my home-server today I was shocked. LVM didn't change my volgroup to available. The server was shut down yesterday with a normal shutdown properly. [root@bongo root]# vgck vg01 vgck -- VGDA of "vg01" in lvmtab is consistent vgck -- VGDA of "vg01" on physical volume is consistent vgchange tells me: [root@bongo root]# vgchange -ay vg01 vgchange -- ERROR "Bad address" activating volume group "vg01" the kernel says (dmesg): lvm -- _pv_get_number failed for rdev = 65535 lvm -- lvm_snapshot_fill_COW_page failed<3> I tried vgscan -> Ok. I'm totally lost. It's my home-server. I used snapshots (intensively) without problems for a couple of weeks. Would you please help me to recover the data. There is no hardware problem - I'm sure - The data is still there.
