Dear all I had created a LVM from 3 physical volumes and here is the output of "lvdisplay" $ lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/orcafiler1/orcavolume VG Name orcafiler1 LV UUID ViopUK-WTiy-bwzw-jpkL-oeF9-AvQV-Q0J6Fi LV Write Access read/write LV Status NOT available LV Size 2.73 TiB Current LE 715401 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto However there is no /dev/orcafiler1/orcavolume. As a result when I want to mount it, I get an error $ mount /dev/orcafiler1/orcavolume /data mount: special device /dev/orcafiler1/orcavolume does not exist I have to say, there was no problem with this drive before. After a reboot I get this error. Indeed there are some files on the lvm but I can not mount it. Any feedback is appreciated.
