"vgcfgrestore -o ..." does the trick without moving disks around (which might be completely impossible with certain path changes anyway). "-o" takes the old path, which has been stored in the metadata backup. "vgcfgrestore -ll ..." long lists the VG metadata stored in the backup. > The bad disk is now at > /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc > > > majestix root # pvscan > pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) > pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/ide/host4/bus1/target0/lun0/disc" of VG "f2" > [ > 149 GB / 0 free] > pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/disc" is > associated to > unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) > pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc" is > associated to > unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) > pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc" is > associated to > unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) > pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc" is > associated to > unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) > pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc" is > associated to > unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) > pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc" is > associated to > unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) > pvscan -- total: 7 [819.79 GB] / in use: 7 [819.79 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] > > > majestix root # vgscan > vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) > vgscan -- found active volume group "f2" > vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of > volume > group "files_vg" 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 > groups > > > majestix root # pvdata /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc > --- Physical volume --- > PV Name /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc > VG Name files_vg > PV Size 93.16 GB [195371568 secs] / NOT usable 16.19 MB > [LVM: 151 > KB] > PV# 4 > PV Status NOT available > Allocatable yes (but full) > Cur LV 1 > PE Size (KByte) 16384 > Total PE 5961 > Free PE 0 > Allocated PE 5961 > PV UUID KsET9a-qoKI-a2gr-z1GB-jwM1-vFw7-qHgxeZ > > --- Volume group --- > VG Name > VG Access read/write > VG Status NOT available/resizable > VG # 0 > MAX LV 256 > Cur LV 1 > Open LV 0 > MAX LV Size 1023.97 GB > Max PV 256 > Cur PV 6 > Act PV 6 > VG Size 670.61 GB > PE Size 16 MB > Total PE 42919 > Alloc PE / Size 42919 / 670.61 GB > Free PE / Size 0 / 0 > VG UUID Z9MJ9w-UjoI-BO9X-rAb0-DPtF-pXqO-Haiji7 > > --- List of logical volumes --- > > pvdata -- logical volume "/dev/files_vg/files_lv" at offset 0 > pvdata -- logical volume struct at offset 1 is empty > [...] > > > What did I do wrong (this time)? Hmmm, if you pvcreated+vgcfgrestored every PV fine, nothing. Could you send the output of "pvdata -UPP" for all your PVs of "files_vg" and files_vg.conf to me in private email, please. > > / Rickard Olsson,IT-Konsult/ > / Telefon: +46 70 635 01 42/ > / http://www.webhackande.se/ > > > _______________________________________________ > 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/ -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
