similar to: Mounting a LVM partition from a linux live cd

Hi, I am trying to recover data from my old system which had LVM. The disk had two partitions - /dev/sda1 (boot, Linux) and /dev/sda2 (Linux LVM). I had taken a backup of both partitions using dd. Now I am booting of CentOS live cd for system restore. I recreated partitions like previous system using fdisk and then used dd to dump all the data onto it. I would like to mount sda2 as LVM, but I

Hi, I have a centos 4 box i use for a file server (nfs and samba). It has two hdd: hda is for the standard install; hdb is for /export/samba/netdisk0 hda is lost - it just clicks now i think hdb is still good i can't figure out how i can remount the hdb disk in a new machine and retrieve the info from it; i've scanned the LVM howto and googled some LVM topics, but nothing seems to

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw. [root at nd11176 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders

I posted this to the Fedora-list, but thought I might get some additional information here as well. I have a HD that refuses to mount with a 'bad magic number in super-block'. I'm running FedoraCore 6 x86_64. [root at moe ~]# fdisk -l /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I've got a situation here where my LVM is showing the following problem: Found duplicate PV xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: using /dev/sdb2 not /dev/sda2 Not sure what causes this and I really don't have a clue as to what the consequences are when seeing this or how to fix it. Google just confuses me with any suggestions. Can anyone offer any help, please? Steve Campbell

Hi all, I need to add a drive with the same LVM labels (i.e. system) to a machine with a drive with the same label. How can I access the data on both drive's LVM partitions at the same time? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Hi, I am trying to migrate one of my systems to a VMware virtual machine.. The PC is an IDE drive using LVM and the virtual machine is a SCSI drive using ordinary partitions.. Basically I rsynced the entire filesystem from the physical to the virtual machine and that seemed to work just fine.. I installed grub onto the drive in the virtual machine and its booting fine.. The problem comes

Does anybody here have any idea how to make an exact copy of a drive that has LVM partitions? I'm having trouble using dd to do this for an EL5 server. We're trying to diagnose a software problem of some kind and would like an exact, perfect copy of the software running so that we can see exactly what the problem is without disturbing our production copy. It's been admin practice

Hi, One of our servers has a too small root partition on LVM and needs to be resized. Can / be safely increased online, without a reboot? [root at zaxen02 ~]# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/LVM01/root' [4.00 GB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/LVM01/home' [20.00 GB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/LVM01/var' [4.00 GB] inherit ACTIVE

Hi all I want to shrink one of my LVM based domU''s, but don''t quite know how to do it. I have searched the Wiki & HOWTO''s, and they all show you how expand / enlarge a LVM based domU, but not shrinking it. So, I stopped (destroyed) the domU, and then resized it as follows: lvresize /dev/data/cpanel1 -L10GB (It was 100GB), but when I a started it up again, I

Hi, it is possible to create and setup/format volumes on a iscsi storage on one server and than disconnect and attache the storage to an other server. AFAIK on the 'new' server I do have to launch an LVM-scan command ... after login to the iscsi target. But which LVM-command and syntax was it? Thanks for any hint! :) /G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax

Hi all, One of our Dell servers has failed badly, and one of the domU's has been corrupted in the process. It boots up to a point and then gives me a kernel panic: Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating

Hi, I am trying to install Gnumeric in CentOS 4 and I can't. It complains about quite a few dependencies failing. It suggested installing some postgresql librairies, openldap librairies... I did that, now I still get: dependencies failed: libmdb/libmdbsq/libsqlite/libxbase/libtds. Is there a yum repository that has them or a yum repository for gnumeric? I have tried Dag, he does not, he

Hello, I have a physical volume with no volume group. # /sbin/pvscan -n WARNING: only considering physical volumes in no volume group PV /dev/sdg2 lvm2 [148.95 GB] Total: 1 [148.95 GB] / in use: 0 [0 ] / in no VG: 1 [148.95 GB] Can I just create a volume group -- for example: # vgcreate my_volume_group /dev/sdg2 and then activate it: # vgchange -a y my_volume_group I

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but it's worth a shot. I have installed CentOS 6.5 on one of our servers, and have just installed SolusVM. I have also set up LVM, with a PV on /dev/sda4 (which is GPT formatted, and 3.12TB is size). The problem I'm having is that when I create the VG, it will not show up under /dev/<VG-name>, which it's supposed to

Hi, Sorry for the need of the long winded email. Looking for some answers to the following. I am setting up a xen PV domU on top of a LVM partitioned DRBD device. Everything was going just fine until I tried to test the filesystems in the domU. Here is my setup; Dom0 OS: CentOS release 5 (Final) Kernel: 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.centos.plusxen Xen: xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5 DRBD:

Hi, I have exactly the same problem that you experienced in Nov, 2013. I am using ext4 with journaled quota and the quota usage is only updating when I run quotacheck manually. Have you found a solution? Regards, Alex > I have set up user quotas on an ext4 filesystem. It does not appear that > the quota system is being updated, except when I manually run quotacheck. > > More detail:

This patch is easier to read if you use the 'git show -w' option. Also observe that: fun a -> ( fun () -> (* code *) ) (ie. returning a closure) is identical to: fun a () -> (* code *) Rich.

Hey Roger, I am seeing this weird behavior when using #linux-next + stable/for-jens-3.8 tree. Basically I can do ''pvscan'' on xvd* disk and quite often I get checksum errors: # pvscan /dev/xvdf PV /dev/xvdf2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [18.88 GiB / 0 free] PV /dev/dm-14 VG vg_x86_64-pvhvm lvm2 [4.00 GiB / 68.00 MiB free] PV /dev/dm-12 VG vg_i386-pvhvm lvm2
