Hi Folks! I had a vg "debian" with the pvs /dev/hda2 /dev/hda3 /dev/hda4 I wanted to remove /dev/hda4, so i did: pvmove -v /dev/hda4 Everything went well, so I removed /dev/hda4, but _without_ the use of: vgreduce debian /dev/hda4 :-( I also did: pvcreate /dev/hda4 , so /dev/hda4 seems to be an empty pv, and it does not know that it belongs to the vg "debian". And now, I get: root@ttyp0[root]# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "debian" 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 group root@ttyp0[root]# pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda2" is associated to unknown VG "debian" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda3" is associated to unknown VG "debian" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda4" is in no VG [23.85 GB] pvscan -- total: 3 [57.24 GB] / in use: 2 [33.38 GB] / in no VG: 1 [23.85 GB] How can I recover my vg? There are no backups :-( How can I tell the vg "debian" to do not use: the empty pv /dev/hda4? Or, how can I tell /dev/hda4 that it belongs to the vg "debian"? There is no lvmconf too :-( What additional information do you need to be able to help me?
