Bouncing this with the correct from address to get to the list, I hope ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 19:51:17 +0000 (GMT) From: Matthew Johnson <mjj29@srcf.ucam.org> To: linux-lvm@redhat.com Subject: hopefully not terminal. Right, I appear to have just done raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/md3, in stead of /dev/md1 /dev/hdh3. Oops. It doesn't complain that md3 is active either. More oops. md3 and md4 are in a linear lvm (lvm1 on 2.4.20ish kernel) of 222Gb in size, and md1 is a 100Mb raid5 partition (/). This means that the first 50Mb has probably been overwritten. This didn't cause the machine to die horribly, only not to come back up. Given I have probably only overwritten about 0.05% of the data, I hope it can mostly be restored. However, vgscan and vgchange -ay refuse to do anything, and vgcfgrestore reports unhelpfully that "physical volume /dev/md3 doesn't belong to volume group vg0" Any ideas how to fix this without wiping the whole thing (I have backups of critical stuff, but not all of it by a long way). I'm in the irc channel as "mjj29", if I'm around when everyone else is. Oh, I have no /usr/, /var/ or /home/ atm, so I hope no solutions need them (-; Matt _______________________________________________ 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/
