Hello,
I have found a solution to the problem, however the problem seems to come back after every reboot.
I have been put on the good path by the remarks made on this list by John and Gionatan.
The fix is the following:
- convince myself that the device has the correct uuid, I used blkid and compared the result with the information in the lvm backup
- run pvck -t on /dev/sdc. Nothing special, all seems OK
- run vgscan --cache. This command brings back knowledge of the VG the PV belongs to
- now pvs lists my PV again, but the LV is inactive
- I activate the LV with lvchange
- all is back, I can mount and use the LV
After a reboot however the information about the VG is gone again, and I have to repeat the steps above to be able to use the LV.
I have a running system, but I don't know what is happening. Where can I look to figure this out?
Regards, Giuseppe
