Subject: [linux-lvm] vgreduce --removemissing does not remove missing
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 17:44:37 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050614004437.19422.qmail@web32002.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
We have had a disk failure and are trying to recover
what we can. Having seen that there were major disk
problems we were running pvmove but, alas, it never
finished. I don't care that much about the data on
the disk but I am puzzled as to why 'vgreduce
--removemissing' reports that it is removing logical
volumes but does not actually seem to do anything.
When I run vgscan this is what I get:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a
while...
/dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found
Couldn't find device with uuid
'Ay85t2-628y-fE0f-js0t-8RO4-WAy4-9qbaZy'.
Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group
VolGroup00.
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found
Found volume group "VolGroup01" using metadata type
lvm2
Then I run:
vgreduce --verbose --removemissing VolGroup00
Finding volume group "VolGroup00"
Couldn't find device with uuid
'Ay85t2-628y-fE0f-js0t-8RO4-WAy4-9qbaZy'.
Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group
VolGroup00.

Removing LV pvmove0 from VG VolGroup00

Removing LV pvmove0 from VG VolGroup00
It looks to me that it is removing the pvmove0 LV but
when I run vgscan again it says the same thing about
not finding device with uuid ... Am I not
understanding what vgreduce is trying to do or should
that pv have been removed?
