I have encountered a situation where vgscan and vgchange are complaining about a missing UUID. As far as I know, all, or almost all, of the LV is on the PV that is known ( how do I know for sure? ), so I think that I am trying to just "remove" the PV and recover what I can of the LV. I have read Milan Brosz' slides from 2009, and the only piece that I seem to be missing is the recovery of the LV. I have made a copy of the PV to work with and the procedure that I need to follow, as I understand it, is as follows: vgscan vgchange -a y ( fails ) vgchange -a y --partial vgreduce --removemissing vgname then what? I have done: pvs -o +uuid lvs -o +devices But am not sure how to interpret the results. lvs shows two entries for the LV that I am interested in. The second entry shows "unknown device(0)".
