Subject: [linux-lvm] Volume group inaccessable after RAID metadice trouble.
Date: Wed Feb 13 12:57:01 2002 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C6AB5E9.8000300@nocrew.org> (raw)
Hi!
I have find myself in a troublesome spot. After a disk failure, with
lots of IDE bus timeouts etc i managed to get the disk in error replaced
and my raid5 set in full operation. But i can't get the volume group
active any more. The volume group in question is VG1.
I have read one year worth of messages in this list archives, and i
still can't se how i can recover my VG1.
Please find the details below
