Subject: [linux-lvm] vg not intact after other disks are exchanged
Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 12:18:08 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051230181808.GA15333@openlib.org> (raw)
hi LVM gurus!
I have a Dell computer with a scsi (mounted as root), and
four ide disks hda to hdd. I have hdb, hdc and hdd in a volume
group vg1. hda is separate.
I am running lvm2 2.01.04-5 from Debian testing.
Trouble with the scsi disk let me to take it out and replace
hda with a differnt physical disk that can act as root. After
changing the boot sequence in the bios the machine boots up fine.
I left the three other ide disks untouched. But, when
I want to activate the vg, I have a problem
fasolt:~# pvscan
Couldn't find device with uuid 'N0i9f3-0xqW-iPyq-7EG9-e4kI-Oa3F-jPfRpC'.
Couldn't find device with uuid 'N0i9f3-0xqW-iPyq-7EG9-e4kI-Oa3F-jPfRpC'.
PV /dev/hdc VG vg1 lvm2 [186.30 GB / 0 free]
PV unknown device VG vg1 lvm2 [167.68 GB / 0 free]
PV /dev/hdb1 VG vg1 lvm2 [372.61 GB / 0 free]
Total: 3 [726.59 GB] / in use: 3 [726.59 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
But hdd is still there, it is just not recogized as
part of vg1.
fasolt:~# fdisk -l /dev/hdd
Disk /dev/hdd: 180.0 GB, 180045766656 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 21889 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/hdd doesn't contain a valid partition table
I exclude hda from scanning,
fasolt:~# grep hda /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" , "r|/dev/hda|" ]
# filter = [ "a|^/dev/hda8$|", "r/.*/" ]
therefore it is likely that hdd is the device
N0i9f3-0xqW-iPyq-7EG9-e4kI-Oa3F-jPfRpC that could not be found.
What do I do now? How do I add it again saying that this
is the PV that is unknown?
