Try "--metadatasize 288k -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Phillip Susi Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 10:56 AM To: linux-lvm@redhat.com Subject: getting pe_start right While trying to convert my mdadm raid5 array from metadata format 0.9 to 1.0, I forgot to specify the version and it defaulted to 1.2, which damaged the lvm metadata. After correcting mdadm to 1.0, I decided to try to recreate the LVM after managing to locate the volume descriptions in the metadata after manually dumping it. The problem I now have is that pvcreate will not use the same pe_start as before. It was 384 and it is now 3072. I tried using --metadatasize 192k --dataalignmentsize 0 and it did not help. What gives? _______________________________________________ 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/ _______________________________________________ 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/
