After upgrading a system from RedHat 9 to Scientific Linux 4 (a RedHat EL clone) the system can no longer see my Volume Group! This isn't a system partition but a "user" one. Also, if it's relevant it was an 'upgrade' not a new install. pvscan gives me: /dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found PV /dev/hda4 lvm2 [126.39 GB] Total: 1 [126.39 GB] / in use: 0 [0 ] / in no VG: 1 [126.39 GB] /dev/hda4 was the only PV in volume group Volume00. vgcfgrestore -n Volume00 /dev/hda4 gives: /etc/lvm/backup/hda4: stat failed: No such file or directory Couldn't read volume group metadata. Restore failed. The file /etc/lvmtab.d/Volume00 exists, is several months old and contains optimistic strings like: /dev/hda4 Volume00 /dev/Volume00/LogVol00 The directory /etc/lvm/ contains three empty subdirectories: archive backup lvm.conf Surely, if I have the Physical Volume I must be able to access the data? Thanks in advance.
