I found a files_vg.conf and put it in /etc/lvmconf, did pvcreate and successful vgcfgrestores on all of them. I had to move the disks around a bit to make them appear in their old places since they're now in a new machine (vgcfgrestore complained otherwise). The bad disk is now at /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc majestix root # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/ide/host4/bus1/target0/lun0/disc" of VG "f2" [ 149 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc" is associated to unknown VG "files_vg" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 7 [819.79 GB] / in use: 7 [819.79 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] majestix root # vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found active volume group "f2" vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "files_vg" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume groups majestix root # pvdata /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc VG Name files_vg PV Size 93.16 GB [195371568 secs] / NOT usable 16.19 MB [LVM: 151 KB] PV# 4 PV Status NOT available Allocatable yes (but full) Cur LV 1 PE Size (KByte) 16384 Total PE 5961 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 5961 PV UUID KsET9a-qoKI-a2gr-z1GB-jwM1-vFw7-qHgxeZ --- Volume group --- VG Name VG Access read/write VG Status NOT available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 1023.97 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 6 Act PV 6 VG Size 670.61 GB PE Size 16 MB Total PE 42919 Alloc PE / Size 42919 / 670.61 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID Z9MJ9w-UjoI-BO9X-rAb0-DPtF-pXqO-Haiji7 --- List of logical volumes --- pvdata -- logical volume "/dev/files_vg/files_lv" at offset 0 pvdata -- logical volume struct at offset 1 is empty [...] What did I do wrong (this time)? / Rickard Olsson,IT-Konsult/ / Telefon: +46 70 635 01 42/ / http://www.webhackande.se/
