hello, I have a lvm setup of 5 PV (disks), 1 VG, and 1 LV. one of the drives just started clicking, and is not recognizable by the bios. Now when i boot up my volume group is not recognized. some info: redhat 8.0 lvm 1.0.3 readable copy of /etc/lvmconf/my_vg.conf ( about 5 months old ) How can i retrieve some of the data that is contained soley on the other 4 drives. ?? Any help is appreciated. i have been looking over the list, and it appears this thread talks about extracting data from LV that didnt span the bad disk, but i only have one LV. http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2003-April/013911.html it looks like he is using lvm2 . does lvm2 have additional tools that can be used to bring back some of my data. ?? i was just keeping mp3 on this LV, but when i upgraded redhat i moved all my data to it for awhile, and never moved it back. my wife is pissed cause i lost all my digital pictures, and i lost all my personal files. i knew better but didnt listen to myself. the hard drive gave no errors in the logs, which i monitor, it just up and started beating its head against the wall. thanks for any help randy _______________________________________________ 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/
