Hi, i have the following setup: /dev/md2 --RAID1 (2x250GB) /dev/md0 --RAID-5 (4x160GB) both md-devices are added to LVM (2) Library version: 1.02.03 (2006-02-08) Driver version: 4.3.0 There are 1 VG and 10 LV's created. VG00 and LV00-LV09 Everything worked fine until i obviously did a mistake rezising the LV06. (I resized othe LV's without problem before but with LV06 i forgot something ...) Now i moved all other LV's to /dev/md0 with pvmove -n ..., exept for LV06 However i couldn't "lvremove" the LV06 (error: can't remove open lv or so) I wasn't also able to deactivate the lv nor the vg. So i tried to pvremove -ff the /dev/md2 PV (maybe the first big mistake) Then i did a pvcreate on /dev/md2 again. Now everything seems to be messed up: #pvdisplay Couldn't find device with uuid 'faoJTZ-VDvh-Gqtd-V0jJ-qbMD-w8be-RvV4Dq'. --- Physical volume --- PV Name unknown device VG Name vg00 PV Size 232,88 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 59618 Free PE 51938 Allocated PE 7680 PV UUID faoJTZ-VDvh-Gqtd-V0jJ-qbMD-w8be-RvV4Dq --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md0 VG Name vg00 PV Size 460,16 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 117800 Free PE 63272 Allocated PE 54528 PV UUID eydC5O-MF3B-oysT-KvoA-pu1D-o54H-GpPmkL --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md2 VG Name PV Size 232,89 GB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID L4624h-V1WS-AaXi-4leU-6QBD-9Cs6-4d3NBt The "unknown" device still contains the data of LV06. This data is not important so i just want consistency back. #lvremove vg00/lv06 Couldn't find device with uuid 'faoJTZ-VDvh-Gqtd-V0jJ-qbMD-w8be-RvV4Dq'. Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group vg00. Couldn't find device with uuid 'faoJTZ-VDvh-Gqtd-V0jJ-qbMD-w8be-RvV4Dq'. Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group vg00. Volume group "vg00" not found Also, my cryptsetup gives errors: #/etc/init.d/cryptdisks start Starting crypto disks: clv00(starting)... Command failed: Es ist ein Block-Device notwendig (a block device is necessary) clv01(starting)... Command failed: Es ist ein Block-Device notwendig clv02(starting)...

Command failed: Es ist ein Block-Device notwendig clv09(starting)... Command failed: Es ist ein Block-Device notwendig swap0(running) swap1(running). Any ideas what i can do now ?
