After root filesystem failure my "/" was all messed up so i had to install system from scratch (Debian Unstable). /home is on separate LVM partition and (i hope so) intact. However pvscan and vgscan gives no result. According to fdisk partition is marked as "8e Linux LVM". I have LVM metadata backup which you can find here: http://pastebin.com/m5a13d266 At line 23 there is: 'device = "/dev/dm-7" # Hint only ', but there is no such device as /dev/dm-7. I think it should be rather /dev/dm-6 (I'm using dmraid), again according to fdisk - the size and type is correct. Should I change dm-7 into dm-6 or simply ignore it and do vgcfgrestore? And what does ' #Hint only' mean? Or maybe there is other way to recover LVM config? Thanks for any help. -- Regards, Grzegorz R. _______________________________________________ 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/
