Reply-To: LVM general discussion and development List-Id: LVM general discussion and development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-lvm@redhat.com Today I rebooted my system and upon reboot my LVM wouldnt mount saying "you must specify filesystem". So I tried specifying the filesystem and I got the error "mount: special device /dev/4474/storage does not exist". I am pretty new to LVM so I did some googling and found that pvscan should show my PV's. This returned the following; fileserver:~# pvscan Couldn't find device with uuid 'pvifBp-Fii0-wKCx-gM4m-VxGz-Q6Ee-oyNKL4'. Couldn't find device with uuid 'pvifBp-Fii0-wKCx-gM4m-VxGz-Q6Ee-oyNKL4'. Couldn't find device with uuid 'pvifBp-Fii0-wKCx-gM4m-VxGz-Q6Ee-oyNKL4'.

When I have a look at /dev/hdd using pvdisplay it shows the following. fileserver:~# pvdisplay /dev/hdd --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hdd VG Name 4474 PV Size 74.52 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 19078 Free PE 19078 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID pvifBp-Fii0-wKCx-gM4m-VxGz-Q6Ee-oyNKL4. I really have no idea where to go from here. Thanks to anyone that responds. I'll keep the mailing list updated for archiving purposes. Terry Rigby
