Hi,
I messed up a bit and I am trying to find the best way to recover.
A few days ago, 1 of the physical disk of my lvm setup started to show
sign of failure (I/O errors) so I decided to move it to another disk
with pvmove. That didn't work out. After 5 days, pvmove had done only
0.1% so I stopped it.
After a reboot, the dying disk wouldn't show up at all, it had died
completely so I decided to remove it with vgreduce --removemissing
--force VolGroup00
Problem is that it refused to do so because of the pvmove saying the LV
was locked. I tried pvmove --abort which refused to do so because of the
missing disk that died.
So I was stuck and did: vgcfgbackup VolGroup00
Then I edited the file, removed the entry about pvmove, tried
vgcfgbackup VolGroup00 which refused to restore because of the missing
disk so I edited the file again, removed the missing disk from there and
did the vgcfgrestore which succeeded.
Now the problem is that I can't mount my volume because it says:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
Which makes sense as the size of the partition is supposed to be 2.4Tb
but now has only 2.2Tb. Now the question is how do I fix this? Should I
use a tool like testdisk or should I be able to somehow create a new
physical volume / volume group where I can add my logical volumes which
consist of 2 physical disks and somehow get the file system right (file
system is ext4)?
pvdisplay output:
--- Physical volume ---

Thank you for your help.
