Do you see the above errors for storage_00034.vg? What about for vgcfgrestore -l -f /etc/lvm/backup/storage storage ? I'm not sure which one of these backup files I'd use to restore to. You can also re-run pvcreate with the --uuid and --restorefile argument if you want to recreate a "lost" uuid... Still wondering how in the world this happened :) Ray _______________________________________________ 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/
