Hi there, I hope someone can help me with this. I had a VG with a single PV (/dev/hda4), with several LVs in it (including the ones I use as /var, /var/www and /tmp). I changed /etc/fstab, after resizing and adding a LV to the other VG I have (on another hdd). Reboot, and I find out that I had not written fstab correctly, no big deal, just correct it in single user mode and reboot again. Weird thing comes now: the first VG (called vg1) has dissapeared. The /dev/vg1 directory and everything inside have just vanished, vgscan says: vgscan -- found inactive volume group "vg1" and any attempt to vgchange -a y /dev/vg1 results in: vgchange -- ERROR "Bad address" activating volume group "vg1" So, is there a way to recover this VG and all the LVs in it, or will I have to restore the system by another method (I lost /var...)? Also, is this very unusual, or LVM is just not so stable? I am running Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.20, and lvm 1.0.4. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ 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/
