Dear list, after a power failure we had troubles with a hard drive, it went down unrecoverably. So I removed the LV's wich had PE's on this disk by executing, and I got this error: [root@xxx root]# lvremove /dev/xxx/data5 lvremove -- do you really want to remove "/dev/vghrsc/data5"? [y/n]: y lvremove -- ERROR "vg_write(): write" storing data of volume group "vghrsc" on disks then I got another strange error: Message from syslogd@xxx at Mon Apr 3 12:14:39 2006 ... xxx kernel: journal commit I/O error therefore I decided to reboot the system. After the reboot, I couldn't manage to get the system up and running again, I got error messages about vgchange not finding any VG's. I even ran vgcfgrestore, but it succeeded without giving me a hint about errors. vgscan now gives me: [root@xxx root]# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "vghrsc" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group pvscan gives me (I had to remove the scsi disk, before I got some sense key errors here): [root@mex root]# pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdb1" is associated to unknown VG "vghrsc" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdc1" is associated to unknown VG "vghrsc" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdd1" is associated to unknown VG "vghrsc" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sde1" is associated to unknown VG "vghrsc" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdf1" is associated to unknown VG "vghrsc" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 5 [6.84 TB] / in use: 5 [6.84 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0] /dev/sdf1 is the scsi drive I removed in the meanwhile and which is not present anymore. I would really appreciate any help!
