I had a hard drive begin to go bad on me, so I ghosted it to another drive. lvm2 successfully picked up on the ghosted drive and didn't complain about it. I used pvmove to send the data off to other parts of the array. I removed the hdd I ghosted to from the array, wiped it, and readded it as a new drive. Now I can't seem to put my array back together. I'm worried about the output of the lvs command saying that the volume group is inconsistent. What exactly does that mean, and what do I do about it? I can still seem to mount everything ok and get to my data, but these errors are disconcerting. Is there a way to get everything back to "normal"? pvs: Found duplicate PV iCXUP4rdy2ZhoIJ4NWl1s3dr1au6QofX: using /dev/hdg1 not /dev/hdg Found duplicate PV fFNJ9uKeNSMVQxwLH82lnI3J0hQYRKTh: using /dev/hdk1 not /dev/hdk Warning: Volume Group vg0 is not consistent PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/hde4 vg0 lvm2 a- 179.75G 0 /dev/hdg vg0 lvm2 a- 172.55G 60.36G /dev/hdi vg0 lvm2 a- 152.67G 152.67G /dev/hdk vg0 lvm2 a- 233.76G 0 vgs: Found duplicate PV iCXUP4rdy2ZhoIJ4NWl1s3dr1au6QofX: using /dev/hdg1 not /dev/hdg Found duplicate PV fFNJ9uKeNSMVQxwLH82lnI3J0hQYRKTh: using /dev/hdk1 not /dev/hdk VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg0 4 1 0 wz--n 738.73G 213.03G lvs: Found duplicate PV iCXUP4rdy2ZhoIJ4NWl1s3dr1au6QofX: using /dev/hdg1 not /dev/hdg Found duplicate PV fFNJ9uKeNSMVQxwLH82lnI3J0hQYRKTh: using /dev/hdk1 not /dev/hdk Volume group "vg0" inconsistent LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Copy% lv0 vg0 -wi--- 525.70G _______________________________________________ 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/
