Hi,

I am new to this group an new to lvm. I reinstalled my personal server
with redhat 7.1 an wanted to get lvm run over my three large discs.

I had the following things running for a short while:

- RedHat 7.1 with all updates.
- self-compiled Kernel 2.4.6 with patched lvm 0.9.1_beta7

On my first HD Igave the rest space to hda7 with fdisk and set the
partition to "8e" lvm.

The i followed the howto at sistina at:
file://sistina.com/lvm/doc/lvm_howto/Common_tasks.html


- I initalized the Partition:
  pvcreate /dev/hda7

- I added the partition to a new volume group:
  vgcreate lvm_volume_01 /dev(hda7

- then o activated the volume group:
  vgchange -a y lvm_volume_01

- The I put a logical volume on the volume group:
  lvcrate -L50G -nlvm_lv_01 lvm_volume_01

This logical Volume was then at /dev/lvm_volume_01/lvm_lv_01 and o
formated it woith reiserfs an mounted it! Evething runs fine.

I copied the old contents of hdb5 and hdc5 of the smaller HDs to this
logical volume. on hda7.



Then I added deleted the partition on hdc5, made a new one, set it to
8e an added it to the volume group as explained at:
file://sistina.com/lvm/doc/lvm_howto/Common_tasks.html


pvcreate /dev/hdc5
vgextend lvm_volume_01
lvextend -L30G /dev/lvm_volume_01/lvm_lv_01
resize_reiserfs -f /dev/lvm_volume_01/lvm_lv_01

That was all fine and i could mount the lvm_lv_01 without any
problems.


The same I then wanted to manage with the thirt HD at hdb5, but then
something went wrong??

Resize reiserfs did something but when i wanted to mount the LV it did
not work. reiserfs-checks did not found a problem but the mount-binary
told my something about a superblock......


Abter a reboot I now have the following:

[root@holodeck lvmconf]# pvdisplay /dev/hda7
pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name               /dev/hda7
VG Name               lvm_volume_01
PV Size               48.54 GB / NOT usable 1.06 MB [LVM: 169 KB]
PV#                   1
PV Status             available
Allocatable           yes (but full)
Cur LV                1
PE Size (KByte)       4096
Total PE              12425
Free PE               0
Allocated PE          12425
PV UUID               cFFBJX-aqxr-P7kU-71OY-pgpX-rvtA-XxVpoc

But for /dev/hdb5 and /ev/hdc5 it does not show the same. NOTHING!!



And becouse I did not write anything to the volumegroup or logical
volume after the added two partition al my data must still be on hda7.
But how do I manage to get on it?

The following commands say the folling:
#####################################################

SHIT!

How do I get on my Data at lvm_volume_01 bzw lvm_lv_01.
lvm_lv_01 was formated with reiserfs

It looks like you have hit the bug 193 in bugzilla.

The group (sadly) didn't have much info for me.  As
such, I'll relay on to you what I found to work.

I was able to restore my volume group by:
vgcfgrestore -v -d -n group1 /dev/hdg1

For some reason, when I used vgcfgrestore and
specified  the group1.conf file name it didn't work.

I've noticed the error logs generated from the vg*,
pv*, and lv* commands aren't very helpful.  For
example, say you vgextend an additional 30G.  Then if
you lvextend -L+30G the error message you get isn't an
"error:  you attempted to allocate more space to the
LV than exists in the group".  You get something like
"allocation of 688502 physical blocks warning".  Not
very intuitive.

Best of Luck Alexander,
Chris

* [linux-lvm] volume group not found????

It seems I have a similar problem to poor Alexander Bruns.
This whole this is giving me big head heack.

Luckily I only have /usr and /var as logical volumes. So I am still able to boot.

I created logical volume partitions /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb5
Then created stripped lvm's lv_usr and lv_var

Reboot several times and everything worked well.

I see /dev/system/lv_usr, /dev/system/lv_var, /etc/lvmconf/sytem.conf

However vgchange fails
vgchange -a y 
vgchange -- no volume groups found


/proc/lvm/VGs/
no logical volumes

How can I recover?

Tim,

does vgscan find your volume group?
Which LVM version do you use?
