Subject: [linux-lvm] Can't restore the volume group after ghosting an hdd
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 18:12:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e5146c2a05032215124af3c0d7@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I had a hard drive begin to go bad on me, so I ghosted it to another
drive. lvm2 successfully picked up on the ghosted drive and didn't
complain about it. I used pvmove to send the data off to other parts
of the array. I removed the hdd I ghosted to from the array, wiped it,
and readded it as a new drive.

Now I can't seem to put my array back together.
I'm worried about the output of the lvs command saying that the volume
group is inconsistent. What exactly does that mean, and what do I do
about it? I can still seem to mount everything ok and get to my data,
but these errors are disconcerting. Is there a way to get everything
back to "normal"?
