hi. i just changed from redhat to debian and was hoping that i would be able to use the lv's i had; however, i am having a problem. for some reason lvm is having problems with one of my vg's. i am hoping that someone can help me get the data off of the problematic lv. i read a couple posts about a similar issue but nothing about recovering the data was mentioned. thanks in advance for any and all help. the following is the output of some commands: pvscan: #pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda3" of VG "vg00" [10.12 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdb" is associated to unknown VG "vg01" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdd" is associated to unknown VG "vg01" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdd1" is associated to unknown VG "vg01" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 4 [71.44 GB] / in use: 4 [71.44 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] vgscan: # vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "vg00" vgscan -- ERROR "pv_read_all_pv_of_vg(): no PV" can't get data of volume group "vg01" 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 groups lvscan: # lvscan lvscan -- volume group "vg00" is NOT active; try -D lvscan -- no logical volumes found other particulars: lvm 1.0.8 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
