Hello all, I'm still a newbie to LVM but I've followed a FAQ in exporting my VG (I had to replace a failing system drive - not in the VG). When I replaced the drive and tried to import the volume group, I get the following errors: vgimport kbvg /dev/hde /dev/hdf vgimport -- ERROR "pv_check_consistency(): PE size" checking physical volume consistency of "/dev/hde" vgimport -- ERROR "pv_check_consistency(): PE size" checking physical volume consistency of "/dev/hdf" vgimport -- ERROR: no valid physical volumes found to import volume group "kbvg" When I do a pvscan, I get: pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hde" is in EXPORTED VG "kbvg" [0 / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdf" is in EXPORTED VG "kbvg" [0 / 0 free] pvscan -- total: 2 [37.46 MB] / in use: 2 [37.46 MB] / in no VG: 0 [0] I get these errors even when replacing the old drive and trying to import back. Any ideas on what I can do next or what the problem could be? Or.. at least, does anyone know of any tools which I can use to retrieve data from these drives? Any help is greatly appreciated! -- Thanks, Chris Wells Fusion Hosting & Design Lexington, KY chris@fusion-hosting.net http://www.fusion-hosting.net Phone: (859) 492-6439 _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
