That's a pity then, I thought I could "trust" pvs to show what's really used, without going to the devices - which I did, and iostat disagreed with LVM. OTOH, this split mirror was confusing LVM, and me as well. Anyway, I just went for it now: removed the filter= directives, ran pvcreate on sdb, now we have different UUID and all LVs survived - all but two, but these two were created after the split and must've been written to sdb. I think this was done before I installed the filter= in lvm.conf, because all the other LVs contain current data. Lessons learned: deal with double UUIDs right after the mirror split, not a weeks later (which I did, because the backup took that long, but that's another story). Thanks for all the comments on this, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #268: Neutrino overload on the nameserver _______________________________________________ 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/
