Hello, I had a VG with two full disks in two PV:s (/dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1). The second drive, a new IBM 120GB disk fried after some weeks and was totally inacessable (not even recognised by BIOS). To my understanding the first PV on /dev/hda1 is OK Can I recover and get back access to my old data that was on /dev/hda1? I have tried various things suggested in HOWTO:s and this list. If I do vgscan I get: vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "Volume00" 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 Any command like vgchange -a y only gets: vgchange -- no volume groups found I have tried create a new VG: vgcreate extra /dev/hda1 but I then get: vgcreate -- "/dev/hda1" is not a new physical volume vgcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hda1" already belongs to volume group "Volume00" ----------- Seems like I dont have any config data for Volume00 left but still I am not allowed to use/change Volume00 or the PV. What can I do? Is there any way to reclaim possible intact data on my old /dev/hda1???? Thanks! /BjÃrn _______________________________________________ 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/
