Re: [linux-lvm] PV Status NOT available

[Patrick Boutilier <boutilpj@ednet.ns.ca>]

Works for me.

Old pvdisplay:


--- Physical volume ---
PV Name               /dev/sda6
VG Name               imap_vg
PV Size               261.11 GB [547591527 secs] / NOT usable 16.25 MB 
[LVM: 189 KB]
PV#                   1
PV Status             NOT available
Allocatable           yes (but full)
Cur LV                1
PE Size (KByte)       16384
Total PE              16710
Free PE               0
Allocated PE          16710
PV UUID               O7WnwM-5ASt-AsiV-8BlZ-h6KP-NjFl-cdY33C
