Hello All, I have two PV's with Thin Volumes within them. Im not able to mount or activate either after trying to vgcfgrestore one of them. PV,VG and LV display/scan all show volumes but cant activate them or mount them. I ran the following command to restore the thin volume from the metadata file in /etc/lvm/archive. vgcfgrestore --force -f /etc/lvm/archive/vg_sfim_00640-658506285.vg vg_sfim Scan commands: [root@erbium ~]# pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda2 vg_erbium lvm2 a-- 59.51g 0 /dev/sdb vg_sfim lvm2 a-- 29.80t 0 /dev/sdc vg_sfim lvm2 a-- 6.58t 0 /dev/sdd vg_fmrif lvm2 a-- 36.39t 0 You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root [root@erbium ~]# vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg_erbium 1 3 0 wz--n- 59.51g 0 vg_fmrif 1 14 0 wz--n- 36.39t 0 vg_sfim 2 3 0 wz--n- 36.39t 0 [root@erbium ~]# lvs lv_home vg_erbium -wi-ao---- 3.19g lv_root vg_erbium -wi-ao---- 32.68g lv_swap vg_erbium -wi-ao---- 23.64g lv_fmrif vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-- 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif_2014_11_20_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif lv_fmrif_2014_11_21_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif lv_fmrif_2014_11_22_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif lv_fmrif_2014_11_23_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif lv_fmrif_2014_11_24_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif lv_fmrif_2014_11_25_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 20.00t thinpool lv_fmrif lv_users vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-- 1.00t thinpool lv_users_2014_11_21_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 1.00t thinpool lv_users lv_users_2014_11_22_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 1.00t thinpool lv_users lv_users_2014_11_23_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 1.00t thinpool lv_users lv_users_2014_11_24_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 1.00t thinpool lv_users lv_users_2014_11_25_23_00 vg_fmrif Vwi---tz-k 1.00t thinpool lv_users thinpool vg_fmrif twi---tz-- 36.39t lv_sfim vg_sfim Vwi---tz-k 35.00t sfim_thinpool lv_sfim_2014_11_23_23_00 vg_sfim Vwi---tz-k 35.00t sfim_thinpool sfim_thinpool vg_sfim twi---tz-- 36.39t cant seam to activate them when i do a vgchange.
