Hi,
For the third time, I had to change a failed drive from my home linux RAID5 box. Previous one went right and
this time, I don't know what I did wrong, but I broke my RAID5. Well, at least, he didn't want to
start. /dev/sdb was the failed drive /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd are OK.
I tried to reassemble the RAID with this command after I replace sdb and create a new partition :
~# mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 --assume-clean --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdb1
-> '-C' was not a good idea here
Well, I guess I did an another mistake here, I should have done this instead :
~# mdadm -Av /dev/md0 --assume-clean --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 missing
Maybe this wipe out my data...
Let's go futher, then, pvdisplay, pvscan, vgdisplay returns empty information
Google helped me, and I did this :
~# dd if=/dev/md0 bs=512 count=255 skip=1 of=/tmp/md0.txt
[..]
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "5DZit9-6o5V-a1vu-1D1q-fnc0-syEj-kVwAnW"
device = "/dev/md0"
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 7814047360
pe_start = 384
pe_count = 953863
}
}
logical_volumes {
lvdata {
id = "JiwAjc-qkvI-58Ru-RO8n-r63Z-ll3E-SJazO7"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
flags = []
segment_count = 1
[..]
Since I saw lvm information, I guess I haven't lost all information yet...
I tried an unhoped command :
~# pvcreate --uuid "5DZit9-6o5V-a1vu-1D1q-fnc0-syEj-kVwAnW" --restorefile /etc/lvm/archive/lvm-raid_00302.vg /dev/md0 Then,
~# vgcfgrestore lvm-raid
~# lvs -a -o +devices
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert Devices
lvdata lvm-raid -wi-a- 450,00g /dev/md0(148480)
lvmp lvm-raid -wi-a- 80,00g /dev/md0(263680)
Then :
~# lvchange -ay /dev/lvm-raid/lv*
I was quite happy until now.
Problem appears now when I try to mount those 2 LV (lvdata & lvmp) as ext4 partition :
~# mount /home/foo/RAID_mp/
~# mount | grep -i mp
/dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lvmp on /home/foo/RAID_mp type ext4 (rw)
~# df -h /home/foo/RAID_mp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lvmp 79G 61G 19G 77% /home/foo/RAID_mp
Here is the big problem
~# ls -la /home/foo/RAID_mp
total 0
I did a LVM R/W snapshot on the /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lvmp LV, I fsck it. I recover 50% of the files only,
all located in lost-+found/ directory with names heading with #xxxxx.
I would like to know if there is a last chance to recover my data ?
Thanks
