I mistakenly ran parted mklabel on an LVM PV (/dev/sdg1). Presumably, this damaged the metadata area of the PV. Will `pvcreate --restorefile <backup> --uuid <old_uuid> /dev/sdg1` solve my problems if it executes successfully, or have I damaged? I've tried running it but receive the following error: Couldn't find device with uuid '6LivE9-tYvi-H8Tm-yQbP-f7tE-OlDO-Nn5jJH'. Can't open /dev/sdg1 exclusively. Mounted filesystem? /dev/sdg1 is not mounted. I assume a reboot may take care of this problem, but I'm afraid I won't be able to remount the filesystem that exists in the LV on this partition. -- Shawn Hood _______________________________________________ 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/
