Re: Missing Logical Volumes

It sounds like the VG was not activated. You can activate it with the following command:

    # vgchange -ay array1

After rebooting, some of my logical volumes did not have device files.

/dev/array1/LVpics
and
/dev/mapper/array1-LVpics
did not exist but the output of "lvdisplay" said that the volume was available (see below).

vgscan did not resolve the problem.

I was able to regain access to the LV by renaming it, then renaming it back...
[root@host1 ~]# lvrename /dev/array1/LVpics /dev/array1/LVpicsnew
  Renamed "LVpics" to "LVpicsnew" in volume group "array1"
[root@host1 ~]# lvrename /dev/array1/LVpicsnew /dev/array1/LVpics
  Renamed "LVpicsnew" to "LVpics" in volume group "array1"

There are 29 LVs in the VG and 25 of them came up OK and 4 had this problem. Note that there is only one single PV (a RAID6 array) in the VG, and there are two VGs on the machine.

Is this expected behaviour, or is it something I should be worried about?
