Hi everyone, I'm trying to recover a deleted LVM volume but can't see to get the syntax right. Running the following command gives me a list of backed up LVM volumes: root at usaxen02:[~]$ vgcfgrestore -l fluidVG_125094317679 ------- snip --------- File: /etc/lvm/archive/fluidVG_125094317679_00126-1479850541.vg VG name: fluidVG_125094317679 Description: Created *before* executing 'lvremove /dev/fluidVG_125094317679/mars.x.com_root_125152080771' Backup Time: Tue A...

...sist of four disk (and four PV) somehow the UUID is changed. I try to restore with the last known good configuration and use pvcreate --uuid xxx --restorefile xxx but I think when I first time do it I did use wrong UUID for two device. but haven't only using command above and haven't used vgcfgrestore. After carefully read the configuration, using hdparm to know device serial number I think I have assign the right UUID for each device. I succesfully use vgcfgrestore, but I cannot mount the device (unknown filesystem, bad superblock, etc). My questions are, is my first attempt to assigning (wrong...

...S 4.4 on a new hard disk. I want to know if it's possible to "import" the old LVM array into the fresh CentOS install. We have 1 volume group (LVM1) that contains 3 whole hard drives.

Hi all, I had centos 5.9 installed with one of its volumes (non-root) on LVM: ... /dev/vgapps/lvapps /opt/apps ext3 defaults 1 2 ... Then installed centos 6.4 on this servers but without exporting this volume (I wanted to reuse it). After that instead importing it I did: # pvcreate /dev/sddlmac # vgcreate vgapps /dev/sddlmac And then realised that I should have

...non-presence) theoretically shouldn't affect bootability of machine. However, booting still fails with root file system not mounted and of course kernel panic since it can't find init. I've attempted doing several things (vgchange -a y, vgcfgbackup, checking the files it created, vgcfgrestore, then recreating initrd images). But nothing helped. I guess all needed device driver are correctly loaded, since it was able to detect volume group (and both volume groups are on the same RAID controller). Running mkinitrd in verbose mode looks fine too. Any help would be greatly appriciat...

Hi All, For quite some time I've used raid 1 as a means of providing a rollback mechanism for an upgrade (which I learned from others long ago). So essentially, before an upgrade you split the mirrors and upgrade one side or the other. If your upgrade goes well you sync one way, if your upgrade does not you sync the other (much hand waving and chanting going on, as its more complicated than

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of
