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 Is there a way to access/start up a volume group from a single drive of a failed raid 1? I had a drive fail on my raid 1 array, and I didn't want to have to bring up a md device to be able to access the volume group information. Is there any way to access the individual drives in the array without having to bring it up? I know that on a Solaris system, you can access any single drive in a mirror independently, if the mirror is misbehaving. Any help would be appreciated.
