Hi Still struggling with the disk loss. My logical volume is still mounted: (df -h -> /dev/vol_grp/big 244G 93G 141G 40% /stuff/archive) I can read the data in volume, however, I can't write to it, not so strange I guess since the size isn't really 244G, but more like 180G after the disk loss. When I run a pvscan I get: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdh" is associated to unknown VG "vol_grp" (run vgscan) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hde" is associated to unknown VG "vol_grp" (run vgscan) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdf" is associated to unknown VG "vol_grp" (run vgscan) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hda" of VG "vol_grp_small" [21.05 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdb" of VG "vol_grp_small" [28.62 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- total: 5 [258.43 GB] / in use: 5 [258.43 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Trying to run vgscan: vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found active volume group "vol_grp" vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "vol_grp" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- found active volume group "vol_grp_small" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume groups So, getting a new disk of same type isn't an option, is there anyway else I can repair this and reduce the logical volume and the file system size without losing my data??? Any help appreciated..... /kjetilhp _______________________________________________ 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/
