-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yohoo! I'm currently in big troubles :-( What happened? I have a single VG running on three RAID arrays. I resized one of these RAID arrays for additional 250GB. After this was done I needed to reboot for the kernel to pick up the new size. Then I went into fdisk, deleted the 8e-LVM partition and re-created a new one with the same starting sector but a later end sector. Again, for the kernel to pick up the new partition table I rebooted. After the reboot my VG was inaccessible because it complained about a missing PV. I checked http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/19386.html#DiskPermanentlyRemoved Symptom2, Solution2. vgcfgrestore showed the same error: "Couldn't find device with uuid ..." So I re-created th PV with "pvcreate --uuid [...] /dev/sdd1. vgscan and I had the new size and a running VG showing all my LVs. :) Unfortunately ALL my LVs on the /dev/sdd1 PV are severely corrupted- the complain about missing partition tables, fsck.ext2 prints thousands of errors and so on. I tried to reduce the PV again, but the LVs remain corrupted. I don't expect my data to be recoverable- but I want to know what I did wrong. Though, if you can recover my LVs it would be fine ;-) Any ideas?
