Hi,
After a reboot I have lost a volume (/dev/lvm1) but not an other (/dev/lvm2)
(vgscan doesn't see lvm1 !)
I am trying to restore it, using vgcfgrestore, but I have the message below :
# vgcfgrestore -n lvm1 /dev/lvm1
vgcfgrestore -- can't restore part of active volume group "lvm1"
vgcfgrestore [-d|--debug] [-f|--file VGConfPath] [-l[l]|--list [--list]]

WHY this message !
What do I do ?

Igor,
you need to figure out, which Physical Volumes (PVs) belong to your VG lvm1
by running 'vgcfgrestore -ll -n lvm1'. Please check for the PV list at
the end of the output.
Then restore the LVM metadata by running 'vgcfgrestore -n lvm1 /dev/hdWhatever`
on every of those.
Afterwards run 'vgscan;vgchange -ay lvm1', which should revive lvm1.
What error happend in the first place causing lvm1 to disapear?
Do you use recent LVM software?
Regards,
Heinz -- The LVM Guy --

Igor,
I overlooked the 'active VG' message vgcfgrestore is displaying.
Because 'vgchange -an lvm1' wont't work in your situation I am afraid you need
to reboot before being able to run vgcfgrestore successfully.

After the reboot vgcfgrestore doesn't work !
# vgchange -an lvm1
vgchange -- volume group "lvm1" does not exist
# vgcfgrestore -n lvm1 /dev/hde1
vgcfgrestore -- can't restore part of active volume group "lvm1"
What do I do ?

Strange.
Please provide "vgdisplay -v;pvscan;lvmdiskscan" and "pvdata -PP" for all
PVs belonging to the missing VG.

Hello !
I got strang stuff going on with my lvm groups...
It crashed after a reboot and i also lost lvm files in /etc.
Now my group is unrecognized...
look at this : (the vg name is lithium)
the devices are /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdh1 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdb1
vgimport -f lithium /dev/hdf1
vgimport -- ERROR "pv_read_all_pv_of_vg(): PV number" reading data of volume
group "l"
vgimport -f lithium /dev/hdh1
vgimport -- ERROR: wrong number of physical volumes to import volume group
"lithium"
It seems that volume group name that vgimport reports for /dev/hdf1 is "l"
(as you can see with the vgimport utility outpout)
and the rests of the disks report it as "lithium", which is the correct
name.
Now if try to import the vg with all the devices, it says that /dev/hdf1 is
not in the same volume group than /dev/hdg1
But if i pvdisplay hdf1 and hdg1 :
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/hdf1
VG Name lithium
PV Size 38.18 GB / NOT usable 1.44 MB [LVM: 159.00 KB]
PV# 1

Free PE 0
Allocated PE 9773
PV UUID RxtFHo-8a4T-2HgW-UaRb-ECvU-tZaG-ZfKDDN
PV Name /dev/hdg1
VG Name lithium
PV Size 38.30 GB / NOT usable 3.99 MB [LVM: 159.00 KB]
PV# 2

Total PE 9803

PV UUID 15PNMd-VnLP-XbWe-2cyU-A0Ia-xCxI-COXaMG
How is it possible that group names match with pvdisplay, but vgimport tells
me hdf1 is in group "l" ?????
Can you help ?
Thanks !

Ok, I hadn't used vgexport !

why "Segmentation fault" ?
An idea ?

Igor,
pvdata output looks fine.
Could you send me the metadata for further investigation in private
email, please?
You can retrieve 3 files with the metadata of your PVs by "
for d in /dev/hd[cef]1
do
dd if=$d of=`basename $d`.lvm bs=1k count=512
done
Regards,
Heinz -- The LVM Guy --
