Weblog entry #8 for eric
See all weblog entries made by eric.
I've made some vgscan and vgchange but nothing! and my hard disks are ok, i can fdisk them and see the LVM partitions... but no way lvdisplay detects this VG...
Very strange, and so annoying...
I think i'll need to use the information contained in /etc/lvm/backup and /etc/lvm/archive...

# vgscanstill can't see my VG "share". I have tried some restore following this guide and the LVM howto but no success
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "domains" using metadata type lvm2# vgchange -aly
10 logical volume(s) in volume group "domains" now active
# pvcreate --uuid "zAdS7Z-Pzzu-0De8-TmMq-U89C-3ZLa-btqnje" --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/share /dev/hdc1I've tried with a file in /etc/lvm/backup and also with one in /etc/lvm/archive... no results!
Couldn't find device with uuid 'zAdS7Z-Pzzu-0De8-TmMq-U89C-3ZLa-btqnje'.
Device /dev/hdc1 not found (or ignored by filtering).
I'm stuck now... what can i do?

If i made a pvscan -vv I see it checks for lvm metadata on all my devices (/dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc!!!, /dev/hda1, /dev/hdb1....) but not /dev/hdc1... it seems that it can't see it.
I think I'll try to boot on SystemRescueCD to see if i got the same problem.

So... I dont know why, and what happened, but the problem is solved. Maybe is a hardware problem (i have to disconnect hdd hard drive to connect a cdrom), but not sure.
