[linux-lvm] Aftermath of a dead hard disk

[linux-lvm] Aftermath of a dead hard disk

[Will May]

I recently had a hard disk die on me that was in my LVM group and so had 
to replace it with a new one. When I added the new hard disk into the 
group, I didn't format it first and so LVM still thinks the new hard 
disk (250GB) is the size of the old one (60GB). I'd like to convince LVM 
of the new size. Anyone know how?

I've tried just formatting the hard disk, but that just causes LVM to 
cry that it can't find the pv on the disk.

Hi !
Just in case, did you pvremove the failed disk ?
If not, unplug the new one, pvremove -f the old one
re-plug the new one,
pvcreate the new one
vgextend the vg.
and enjoy.
read the manpages carefully in order to avoid mistakes.
Hope this helps.
