Looking for some advice. Lost 2 disks from a Redhat 9 system, 1 from a 3 disk VG, no stripping and the other the system disk. I've rebuilt the system and I now want to recover the surviving 2 disks. A pvscan gives the following result: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sda1" is associated to unknown VG "datavg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdc1" is associated to unknown VG "datavg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 2 [45.75 GB] / in use: 2 [45.75 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] and 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 "datavg" 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 I realise that I need to re-create the datavg but having lost the root partition I am unsure how to go about it without loosing any more data...... Thanks in advance Regards, Chris. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm _______________________________________________ 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/
