LVM driver LVM version 1.0.5+(22/07/2002) Debian Linux 2.4.22 I have a VG called 'vgmu' consisting of 5 drives and containing a LV called 'mu' taking up the whole VG. (/dev/vgmu/mu) Now one of those 5 drives (hdc) failed and after I powered the box down, removed the bad drive and powered back up, I got this after running 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 "vgmu" 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 And pvscan gives me this: (hdc is now the previous hdd drive - it changed letters) pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sda1" is associated to unknown VG "vgmu" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hde1" is associated to unknown VG "vgmu" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdc1" is associated to unknown VG "vgmu" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdb1" is associated to unknown VG "vgmu" (run vgscan) Can I restore and reactivate this volume group (although now smaller) to run without the failed drive ? What can I do ? Thanks in advance. --------- Perplexer _______________________________________________ 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/
