This is a lab/test machine. I have a couple of others that have a similar LVM layout, and all of them have hot-swap drives.

It is already active, and I just tried a reboot. sda3 is still inactive. > > Is "TruStore-Data" accessable fine (LVs ok) ? I have 3 LVs on sdb1, they are working fine. I have a copy of my Linux Distro CDs and spare space for sdb1 snapshots on sda3. They are not working. Obviously I can recreated the CD copies, but I prefer not to do this. Is there something else I can try? FYI: None of this data is very important, so I won't complain too loud if you ask me to do something and it ends up blowing everything away.
