There may be a better way, but here is what I did... > vgcfgrestore <VG> Errors out, but gives you the uuid of the PV that is missing. > pvcreate -u <uuid given by failed command> <device> > vgcfgrestore <VG> All should be good now. brassow On Jan 18, 2006, at 4:37 PM, Alan Wise wrote:
I just attempted to remove two physical volumes from one of my volume groups. Since I very recently added them, I knew (or thought I knew) that there was no data on them so I attempted to to remove them using "pvremove /dev/hda8 /dev/hdb1". The program complained, but suggested I try using the "-ff" option, which I promptly did, without considering the consequences of my actions (or backing up the data). Now I'm getting the following errors: Couldn't find device with uuid "..." Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group my_vg Volume group "my_vg" doesn't exist Unfortunately, being rather new to LVM, I didn't know about vgcfgbackup until I started researching how to fix my problem, so I can't go that route. Is there any way I can recover my data. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
