hi is there a way to create vgda information to memory? I want to create a virtual LVM disk We have all the cow data on a disk, but # lvconvert -s vg/lv /dev/mydisk doesn’t accept the path to the disk device and if I create a symbolic disk in /dev/vg/mydisk of in /dev/mapper/vg—mydisk pointing to /dev/mydisk the ‘lvconvert’ command doesnt accept the cow data on the disk so I guess that the VGDA data has to be present on the disk in order for the lvconvert command to accept the data what do you think could be missing? is it the vgda meta data on the disk? if so, how can I create and emulate the vgda data so that the lvconvert command works? thanks in advance regards Tomas Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
