While trying to upgrade from RedHat 9 (2.4 kernel) to Mandriva 2007
(2.6 kernel) I needed to export and re-import a lvm volume group.
The volume group is build from two RAID5 volumes on 3ware RAID
cards. In RedHat 9 (using lvm tools version 1.0.3) I can inactivate
and export the volume group (using vgchange -an and vgexport).
However, this exported volume group is not detected using the
Mandriva 2007 system (which, I presume, uses a recent version of
lvm2). pvscan simply does not detect the volume group.
The relevant output of pvscan -vvvv is copied below. The volume
group consists of /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1. Apparently, pvscan sees
some kind of md raid information on /dev/sdb1 and decides to skip it?
After rebooting in RedHat 9, pvscan (1.0.3) sees the volume group
and vgimport imports it fine.
Is there any way I can move this volume group to a kernel 2.6 system
that uses the lvm2 tools?
Thanks!
Nico
