Greetings, I was running suse 9.0 with LVM1 and had a VG called USER with 4 PVs in it. I had attempted to add a raid 0 volume, /dev/md0, to the USER vg but got an error - something like "address out of range." The VG was still available, but I couldn't add the device. After that error, I couldn't do much of anything with the VG w/o getting the same error. I then upgraded the system to suse 9.1, which is running LVM2. A vgscan now shows the following: glacis:~ # vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... 3 PV(s) found for VG USER: expected 5 Volume group "USER" not found Found volume group "DB" using metadata type lvm2 glacis:~ # pvscan 3 PV(s) found for VG USER: expected 5 Logical volume (lvol4) contains an incomplete mapping table. PV /dev/hdc3 VG USER lvm1 [9.28 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hda4 VG USER lvm1 [14.16 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdc1 VG USER lvm1 [16.81 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hdc1 VG DB lvm2 [9.28 GB / 288.00 MB free] PV /dev/hda3 VG DB lvm2 [12.97 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/md0 lvm2 [16.93 GB] Total: 6 [79.43 GB] / in use: 5 [62.50 GB] / in no VG: 1 [16.93 GB] (A few minutes ago it was 4 PVs found, expecting five.) All the drives are still available, and there was nothing on /dev/md0. Is there any way that I can get LVM to just see the original four drives for VG USER? That is: /dev/hda4 /dev/hdc3 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 I don't know why sdd1 suddenly disappeared. If I do an fdisk on it, it shows up as an lvm device. derek -- Ne pas laisser vieillir les hommes doit ïtre le grand art du gouvernement. - Napoleon I dt at hawkmoon dot mn dot org http://c-24-118-230-198.mn.client2.attbi.com _______________________________________________ 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/
