Hi, I was working with a logical volume which was built with four disks. The fourth one has been damaged (I don't know the cause), even mkfs fails, probably some damaged sector. I would like to know if it's possible to recover some data from the other disks. I tried to remove the damaged disk from the logical volume but I can't deal with any physical volume if one of them are bad. My file.vg: maltes01 { id = "iHkB9I-og1A-TrIV-ZefG-Ai0W-5rk5-52kR1t" seqno = 0 status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"] extent_size = 8192 # 4 Megabytes max_lv = 255 max_pv = 255 physical_volumes { pv0 { id = "TPWYqO-TXGt-CIjl-fQQN-rMnZ-tpjQ-GuhJc3" device = "/dev/sda" # Hint only status = ["ALLOCATABLE"] pe_start = 384 pe_count = 17501 # 68.3633 Gigabytes } pv1 { id = "5eFxOP-YwQI-ns89-YW51-YNnY-xmmB-HIBwWJ" device = "/dev/sdb" # Hint only status = ["ALLOCATABLE"] pe_start = 384 pe_count = 17537 # 68.5039 Gigabytes } pv2 { id = "UvlyW9-hY4u-50Zp-plNV-1Fco-R0hr-vgbIiM" device = "/dev/sdc" # Hint only status = ["ALLOCATABLE"] pe_start = 384 pe_count = 17537 # 68.5039 Gigabytes } pv3 { id = "BSWMyc-bEfD-vfTJ-px8U-G8nt-M8J6-QHvHnz" device = "/dev/sdd" # Hint only status = ["ALLOCATABLE"] pe_start = 384 pe_count = 4379 # 17.1055 Gigabytes } } } Any idea?
