If you have a running production on the machine, and don't want to reboot, or otherwise break it, then it might be a good idea to spin up a virtual machine and break it in a similar way, and use that to test. It seems like lvm just uses the device mapper to maintain current state, so dmsetup is probably ok, but ... YMMV. I would try dmsetup remove then make sure the vgscan etal work ok without problems. If you get pv not found errors, then you might have to try re-creating pvs with the correct uuids. -- Scott Merrilees _______________________________________________ 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/
