After accidentaly pushing the power switch on my Linux server and starting it up again, I have problems mounting my vg again. This is what happens : Vault:/home/ultra# mount /glftpd/site mount: /dev/site_vg/lvol1 is not a valid block device Vault:/home/ultra# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "site_vg" vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" can't get data of volume group "site_vg" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" creating "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" Vault:/home/ultra# I read through the archive of the list because I am absolutely sure I am not the first who had this problem. I read some stuff about using the uuid_fixer tool, bit as far as I was able to read, the problem that fixes only shows up after extending the VG (Which I did a week or so, ago), and only for kernels up to 2.4.5. Is this true ? Vault:~/uuid_fixer# ./uuid_fixer /dev/hda8 /dev/hdb1 UUIDs discovered: W9tkR7eq026WBMCBrUCdebI32vRyFuLn u5vBzCHwu5mjAt5yN0lS4Ecrto1jI9NZ I tried running it anyway, and after that I ran vgscan - and the same problems showed up. What do I do to recoved my data ? Any help is greatly appreciated /Klaus
