Subject: [linux-lvm] will pvcreate destroy lvm data on an already exsiting PV
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2005 15:31:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4273DCF5.3030905@ruckusnetwork.com> (raw)

I know you guys don't normally respond to direct email about LVM.

But I have a situation that the PV in a VG seems to have lost its 
metadata, and
there is a discrepancy between What the OS thinks the partition for a 
device that uses
LVM is and what LVM thinks it should be (/dev/sde vs /dev/sde1).  A 
vgrestore complains
about pv_read not working.  So my question is, if I run a new pvcreate 
on the disk device,
will it destroy the LVM data on the existing device.  Or will it just 
setup a placeholder for
the metadata, and I can then just do a vgcgrestore and put that back in 
place without
losing data.

Thanks for any suggestions and your time.

Sincerely,

Lance Reed
