But i thought I'd give it one last try to see if anyone had any ideas? The story goes, I have three partitions on one hard drive /dev/hda1 (a 30 meg /boot) /dev/hda2, and /dev/hda3 are both LVM. /dev/hda3 was the only LVM partition. I vgextened to include /dev/hda2, then rebooted and now vgscan finds no volume groups. pvscan only shoes that /dev/hda3 is part of a volume group and doesn't see anything about /dev/hda2 uud_fixer gives me=20 #./uuid_fixer /dev/hda2 /dev/hda3 /dev/hda2 - pv_read{}: PV identifier invalid=20 but if i run it just against /dev/hda3 i get #./uuid_fixer /dev/hda3 =20 Error: number of PVs passed in does not match number of PVs in /dev/hda3s = =20 VG = =20 1 PVs where passed in and 2 where expected =20 #pvdata -U /dev/hda2 gives pvdata -- ERROR "pv_read{}: PV identifier invalid" reading physical volume = =20 uuid list from physical volume "/dev/hda2" =20 #pvdata -U /dev/hda3 gives --- List of physical volume UUIDs --- = =20 = =20 000: elhLXoMw5J8qaEgN2DzEYoWoqhqH7H5a = =20 001: 9AoOf5F6c58dcyJ30pfwNp153TI5PjLF=20 So /dev/hda2 has no information about being in volumegroup rootvg but rootvg thinks it is, or at least thats as near as i can tell what's wrong. Is there some way to remove /dev/hda2 from the volume group even if i can't find it with vgscan. Is there some way to change /dev/hda2 so it thinks there it is part of the volume group?
