Hello, I use LVM 1. I tried to extend my vg "vglumi" on pv "/dev/hda10" with the pv "/dev/hda12". See below for my configuration and outputs. But it failed. I forgot exactly what's I done. I remember that /etc was read only. Now, I cannot access this gv. Pvdata report 2 pv for vglumi. It's wrong. Can you help me to recover this? Thanks in advance. pvscan output ------------------------------------------------------------ pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda10" is associated to an unknown VG (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda11" of VG "vgh1" [9.54 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda12" is in no VG [11.38 GB] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda8" of VG "vgsys" [9.5 GB / 4.62 GB free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda9" of VG "vgusr" [9.5 GB / 512 MB free] pvscan -- total: 5 [49.52 GB] / in use: 4 [38.15 GB] / in no VG: 1 [11.38 GB] ------------------------------------------------------------ pvdata output for /dev/hda10 ------------------------------------------------------------ --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hda10 VG Name vglumi PV Size 9.54 GB / NOT usable 6.05 MB [LVM: 137 KB] PV# 1 PV Status available Allocatable yes (but full) Cur LV 1 PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 2440 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 2440 PV UUID F1TGo0-cCuZ-OgVS-ntr9-lDnx-jrye-P5AT01 --- Volume group --- VG Name VG Access read/write VG Status NOT available/resizable VG # 2 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 20.91 GB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 5352 Alloc PE / Size 2440 / 9.53 GB Free PE / Size 2912 / 11.38 GB VG UUID VPnlC0-1h4r-13V1-pDlL-ygkG-ylUs-2imuT0 --- List of logical volumes --- pvdata -- logical volume "/dev/vglumi/lv_lumi" at offset 0 pvdata -- logical volume struct at offset 1 is empty ... pvdata -- logical volume struct at offset 255 is empty --- List of physical extents --- PE: 00000 LV: 001 LE: 00000 ...
