Hi all,
I've been successfully running LVM2 (2.01.04) on Debian Sarge
(2.6.8-2-686) for months.
As I've done many times before, I added a new disk yesterday. I
successfully ran the following, both without error:
pvcreate -v /dev/hdc
and
vgextend -v mono_media /dev/hdc
As standard practice to make sure everything was ok, I then ran:
vgscan -v
At this point I got several references to "Couldn't find uuid..."
repeated with the same uuid several times. At this point it seemed
logical to back-out my changes, so I tried to run the following:
vgreduce -v mono_media /dev/hdc
Unfortunately this gave the same "Couldn't find uuid..." errors as
'vgscan'. As it seemed somewhat logical, I tried running the same
'pvcreate' command, again without error:
pvcreate -v /dev/hdc
After 'pvcreate' had finished, I was THEN able to run 'vgreduce' and
restore my 'mono_media' VG to working order.
At this point I was a bit baffled, running 'lvmdiskscan' after the
initial 'pvcreate' shows the disk as present, but if I reboot after just
that first 'pvcreate' step and run 'lvmdisksacn' after the reboot,
/dev/hdc isn't shown.
To rule-out a hardware problem I successfully ran 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc'
and was able to mount and navigate the volume without errors. Last night
I also left 'badblocks -svw /dev/hdc' running which is almost complete
and hasn't found any errors yet.
I will reply with full command output once 'badblocks' has finished, but
I hope this brief synopsis makes sense.
Thanks everyone!
-Barnaby
