Hi !

I'm not so firm in linux but:

We had a LG "smbdata" which went away somehow? ;-)

Searched all threads and followed your instructions on recovering 
configuration of LV. Didn't work ;-(

Here is the output of vgcfgrestore -ll -f /etc/lvmconf/smbdata.conf.7.old 
-n smbdata /dev/sda

Hi Matthias.

What does 'somehow' mean? ;-)

LVM/Operator error? I know: in case of an operator error I wouldn't tell
anybody either ;-)

Please run:


# save your LVM metadata for later use
for d in /dev/sd[a-d]1; do
   dd if=$d of=$d.VGDA count=512 bs=1k
done

# to recreate your PVs because vgcfgrestore needs that
pvcreate -ff /dev/sd[a-d]1

# restore the metadata from backup
for d in /dev/sd[a-d]1; do
   vgcfgrestore -n smbdata -f /etc/lvmconf/smbdata.conf.7.old /dev/$d
done

# scan in the metadata
vgscan

# activate the VG
vgchange -ay smbdata

Steps to Reproduce:
   configure logical volume 
vgscan
pvcreate /dev/hdc1
vgcreate vg1 /dev/hdc1
lvcreate -n lv001 -L 1000G vg1

After a reboot  when the machine comes up i see these messages 

Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode:  [  OK  ]
Setting up Logical Volume Management: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate
module 
block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43

After adding the line " alias block-major-43 off" i can turn off these
messages.
 
Question :
   Why is lvm looking for this block major 43 device [ nbd ]. Does it
scan all the block major devices to locate pv's.

I am using LVM 1.0.8 on RHEL 3.

Hi there, 

 

I'm ruing RedHat enterprise Linux WS and when my system boots up it
stops right after Setting up Logical Management.  From there nothing
happens and hangs.  I'm hoping this doesn't mean my filesystem is
trashed.  Can you anybody please help?  Many thanks.
