I'm running Debian testing on a Sun Enterprise250. Sun disks being what they are, I decided to run RAID5 so that when (note: not *if*) one of the disks failed, I should be able to restore things relatively easily. I had to turn the box off overnight last week, and now the kernel doesn't see the RAID disks. pvscan gets me: curly2:~# pvscan Found duplicate PV lVJ7V1wRK3QGepVDxfial74eu5QLFNRm: using /dev/sdc4 not /dev/sdb4 Found duplicate PV lVJ7V1wRK3QGepVDxfial74eu5QLFNRm: using /dev/sdc4 not /dev/sdb4 Couldn't find device with uuid 'X5DQ86-BLG4-4jrU-EhoW-SXDK-5vG0-cbDIOG'.

LVM is version 2. Any suggestions? More information needed? I'm fairly new to both LVM and RAID.
