Hi all,

Peter, is this an error in LVM filtering or is manual filter modification required?

Michal(-e), I suggest modifying global_filter to accept only the devices you want in the VG.

The VG on the "missing" PV is called "system", but:

# vgdisplay /dev/system
   No device found for PV JszGc1-S16s-bsFQ-weAl-aj8W-d6y4-BeVqcN.

Actually all LVs on the "system" VG are present and accounted for. The
LVs contain the root file system, and some virtual machine drives, all
of which are running *fine* (and the system in fact boots up from the
"missing" PV :). But I can't resize:

# lvextend -L +16G /dev/system/vm-monitor
   No device found for PV JszGc1-S16s-bsFQ-weAl-aj8W-d6y4-BeVqcN.
   Cannot change VG system while PVs are missing.
   Consider vgreduce --removemissing.

The "system" VG is situated on a md raid1. I think it all happened after
I replaced all the drives of that md with mdadm --replace with bigger
disks. But I can't be sure, because the system in fact works and except
the inability to resize there are no problems.

I have googled around a bit, but to no avail. Can someone help me
diagnose and repair this?
