I recently had a RAID disk failure, which, due to a firmware bug, a second drive went down.. Anyway, the data is being rebuilt (via RAID Controller) now. It is online, but when i do a vgscan, i now only see 2 of the 4 volumes that were setup. I am using reiserfs on all filesystems affected. Anyway, for lvm, i have simply used: 'pvcreate /dev/sda' (for the /dev/sda). In other words, I didn't fdisk and set to Linux LVM. From what I've seen, this so far has caused no problems. Anyway, now, when i do a vgscan, i only see 2 of the volumes. When I do a pvdata /dev/sda (one of the PVs not showing up), i get what looks like corrupted naming.. -------------------------------- [root@thor root]# pvdata /dev/sda --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda VG Name ??Ð PV Size 93.13 GB [195312500 secs] / NOT usable 2.49 GB [LVM: 16.15 MB] PV# 48979801 PV Status NOT available Allocatable yes (but full) Cur LV 1 PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 23840 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 23840 PV UUID ? --- List of logical volumes --- Segmentation fault [root@thor root]# Is there a way I can fix this?
