I have six promise vtrack 15200 arrays in raid 5 config that I have LVM'ed together to hold a disk copy of my backup data. I restarted the machine yesterday for the first time in a while and the filesystem seems to be not quite right. On both of these devices I am getting the following errors: [root@sbackup ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... /dev/sdc: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 10499998285824: Input/output error /dev/sdf: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 10499996450816: Input/output error Found volume group "backupdisk" using metadata type lvm2 It doesnt make since that there is a bad sector because of the raid 5 nature and the arrays show perfect health. I can read from the drive as show by: [root@sbackup ~]# dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/null 1744873+0 records in 1744872+0 records out 893374464 bytes (893 MB) copied, 29.2183 seconds, 30.6 MB/s Note: I did a ctrl C Any ideas on how to repair? thanks, Dan _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
