[linux-lvm] naming conventions of vgcfg-backups?

[linux-lvm] naming conventions of vgcfg-backups?

[Lars Grobe]

Hi!

After resizing, I have to restore my previous lvm configuration. I'm just
not sure about the default naming of the backups?

Am I right that <vgname>.conf is the current config (which is in use now -
and which is wrong), while <vgname>.conf.1.old is the previous (which I have
to restore) and <vgname>.[2345].old are the older backups?

CU, Lars.

That should be correct I believe, but you could probably take a look at the
timestamp on the file to verify when it was created.  Depending upon which
tools you've used, the first couple might be with the current config or a
variant.

Hi!

It was the right guess, or at least it seams to be ok now. I did a restore,
and at the moment, reiserfs is checking the filesystem. I will report
everything to the people at namesys, so it will be documented for the next one
interrupting a resize process...

CU, Lars.
