Hi! I've currently problems to access my data on a logical volume, reason: "/etc/init.d/lvm start" gives the following output: Setting up LVM Volume Groups... Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "storage_vg" using metadata type lvm2 device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "storage_vg" now active A look to "dmesg" reveals the following: device-mapper: table: device 8:0 too small for target device-mapper: table: 254:0: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table The LVM-System consists of one logical volume with two harddrives (sda and sdb, which contains each a physical volume) and worked flawless in the past. I used to swap these both disks between a linux and a windows system without any problems (access in windows through vmware as "physical disks"), but for some reason something screwed it up.. I thought about overwriting the lvm metadata but I wasn't sure how to do it in a way without doing more damage to the non-metadata. Any hints where to look or what to do about it?
