Hi all, I have a big problem with my LVM, let me explain you it: I had a lv of a vg, this vg was composed of 2 pv and i had an ext3 partition on this lvm. Today i reinstalled my system on a new hard drive and i used the partman tool of debian, it detected me the 2 disks as lvm, then i simply create a vg with this 2 disque, and a lv with all the space. After i said: "do nothing" to put myself the entry to mount it in fstab. Now i can't mount it, and fdisk don't detect any partition on this drive Testdisk found nothing too. I have the old informations about the lvm, is it possible to come back in the old situation with them (or have you got a better solution ) ? Thank you very much. (sorry for my english ^^) My actual configuration (who doesn't work): [root@ici]/home/ejah #pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hde1 VG Name donnees PV Size 115,04 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 29449 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 29449 PV UUID it2W5v-3hKi-DKCC-2eqw-C11U-GWoY-U7pO4v --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hdg1 VG Name donnees PV Size 189,91 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 48618 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 48618 PV UUID 6g9FOv-qeVO-00bW-B8TV-kL3t-D2XD-M09u0H [root@ici]/home/ejah # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name donnees System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 2 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 Max PV 0 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 304,95 GB PE Size 4,00 MB Total PE 78067 Alloc PE / Size 78067 / 304,95 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID CgCalc-mWD8-NwYs-Y79z-1A4V-MpY6-YkXQB0 [root@ici]/home/ejah # lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/donnees/donnees VG Name donnees LV UUID mCFZue-m7Bf-LBju-BCjU-Xo7G-7GE7-dT2QeQ LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 304,95 GB Current LE 78067 Segments 2 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 254:0 -- Guillaume aKa e-Jah _______________________________________________ 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/
