Hi after a system crash my system can't find it's LVM volumes: System: - SuSE 7.3 with last 7.3 patches, own Kernel Update to 2.4.26 - was running for some longer time with SuSE lvm-1.0.0.2_rc2-6 (vgscan --help -> LVM 1.0.1-rc2 - 30/08/2001 (IOP 10)) - I've updated LVM to LVM 1.0.8 - 17/11/2003 (IOP 10) in the hope to fix the problem vgscan dies with a Segmentation fault odie:~/LVM/1.0.8/tools # vgscan -v vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- creating empty "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- scanning for all active volume group(s) first vgscan -- reading data of volume group "DATAVG" from physical volume(s) Segmentation fault odie:~/LVM/1.0.8/tools # pvscan finds the volumes of the VG odie:~/LVM/1.0.8/tools # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdc1" is associated to unknown VG "DATAVG" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdd1" is associated to unknown VG "DATAVG" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdb1" is associated to unknown VG "DATAVG" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 3 [306.23 GB] / in use: 3 [306.23 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] odie:~/LVM/1.0.8/tools # Running vgscan -dv results in ... <1> vg_read_with_pv_and_lv -- AFTER lv_read_all_lv; vg_this->pv_cur: 3 vg_this->pv_max: 255 ret: 0 <1> vg_read_with_pv_and_lv -- BEFORE for PE <1> vg_read_with_pv_and_lv -- AFTER for PE <1> vg_read_with_pv_and_lv -- BEFORE for LV <1> vg_read_with_pv_and_lv -- vg_this->lv[0]->lv_allocated_le: 32500 Segmentation fault (copied the last few lines - didn't want to send 72k debug output) Is there any chance to fix this without loosing the data on the disks?
