Hello all: I just inherited a box that's running LVM2. This box has two volume groups with the same name but they both have different UUID numbers. Is it a problem to have a box like this? If so, how can I recover? The output of displayvg and pvscan is below. sudo /usr/sbin/vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name SysVG System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 8 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 7 Open LV 7 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 273.38 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 8748 Alloc PE / Size 2112 / 66.00 GB Free PE / Size 6636 / 207.38 GB VG UUID rS82Le-cEA5-MDxm-7zza-x0ve-gxYp-txZQT0 --- Volume group --- VG Name SysVG System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 8 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 7 Open LV 7 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 67.94 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 2174 Alloc PE / Size 2112 / 66.00 GB Free PE / Size 62 / 1.94 GB VG UUID haTLf2-kby5-fPxh-pVGx-7lD5-ZYpa-nI6EvK sudo /usr/sbin/pvscan PV /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 VG SysVG lvm2 [273.38 GB / 207.38 GB free] PV /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 VG SysVG lvm2 [67.94 GB / 1.94 GB free] Total: 2 [341.31 GB] / in use: 2 [341.31 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] -- Ezra Taylor -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
