Dear all, I guess I did stupid way to handle the lvm. Now the situation is: root %lvscan Incorrect metadata area header checksum inactive '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02' [114.22 GB] inherit inactive '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01' [8.00 GB] inherit inactive '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' [8.00 GB] inherit inactive '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03' [101.19 GB] inherit root % vgchange -ay VolGroup00 Incorrect metadata area header checksum Incorrect metadata area header checksum Volume group VolGroup00 metadata is inconsistent Volume group for uuid not found: Jt5E71u5LDUBOEbyPbKSAwYoHDth1lSa6HriQywmrKEuO4lVRT5lBdar7LEm65jD Incorrect metadata area header checksum Volume group VolGroup00 metadata is inconsistent Volume group for uuid not found: Jt5E71u5LDUBOEbyPbKSAwYoHDth1lSaXl65MLs5oJFH9gPYo70eB9p7eVWUJ6SB Incorrect metadata area header checksum Volume group VolGroup00 metadata is inconsistent Volume group for uuid not found: Jt5E71u5LDUBOEbyPbKSAwYoHDth1lSaWgaUTHNB4qQZ900HNzVO8rPhbT8LhhWy Incorrect metadata area header checksum Volume group VolGroup00 metadata is inconsistent Volume group for uuid not found: Jt5E71u5LDUBOEbyPbKSAwYoHDth1lSaS7daEG6cQQO2tZ4NJzggGCsbZvYpOTdR 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active root % pvscan Incorrect metadata area header checksum PV /dev/sda3 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [30.25 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [101.16 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sda1 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [192.00 MB / 192.00 MB free] PV /dev/sda5 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [101.22 GB / 1.22 GB free] Total: 4 [232.81 GB] / in use: 4 [232.81 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] Now I have no idea how to deal with it, I refered some articles: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/19386.html, whatever I tried 'vgcfgrestore VolGroup00': root % vgcfgrestore VolGroup00 Incorrect metadata area header checksum Incorrect metadata area header checksum Restore failed. So what is the right way to recover these lvm? Any tips will be welcome! Thanks in advanced, BTW: the attached is lvm metadata file. More detail information needed, pls tell me. Zhou Zhen
