similar to: lvm VolGroup00 problem after disk upgrade

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, 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

I have a database server that is running out of space. All my databases are being stored in a 80G /opt partition. Because I'm using LVM, wouldn't I be able to pop the HDDs (a h/w raid volume) in, add it to the LVM, and resize my ext3 /opt partition? Everything that I've been reading says this is possible, but I'm not sure. Has anyone done this and are there any pitfalls to

Hello, since upgrading to CentOS 5.2 my notebook hangs while booting with a "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception" error. Here is a screenshot: http://www.istari.de/olaf/centos/r0013878.jpg # uname -a Linux beutelsend.istari.de 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 20 09:34:18 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # grep kernel /etc/grub.conf kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5

Hi, I have a system running CentOS4.8. Last month I installed the latest updates including kernel 2.6.9-89.0.23 and rebooted the system. It has been running for almost a month. Last night I updated the system again which updated only a few packages: openssl, tzdata, curl,vixie-cron and logrotate. No new kernel or anything out of ordinary. The reboot after the update stopped with kernel

Hi. I have cloned a RHEL 5.6 physical server over to a ESXi 5.0 Virtual Machine. Using a live CD on the new Virtual Machine I created 3 partition /boot (/dev/sda1), / (/dev/sda2) and swap (/dev/sda3), I then mounted the / (sda2) partition and created the /boot directory and mount the boot partition partition /dev/sda1 into /boot. I then used rsync to copy the source machine over to the Virtual

Booting from the CentOS 5.2 Installation DVD (or the first Installation CD), one can type "linux rescue" and then "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and have full root access to the OS on the HD. For future reference, I would like to know what I did wrong, the past couple of days, when trying to use the CentOS 5.2 i386 Live CD, for rescue. From a terminal, "su -" did not seem to

Hi List, Strange problem. I am running off of CentOS x86_64 6.4 usb key that is sdb I have ssd disk that has a centos image on it.

Hi, I am compiling Xen from source on FC9. On booting the Xen dom0 kernel it gives the following error: Volume group "VolGroup00" not found and ultimately the error that switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory So my question is that why it fails to detect logical volumes?

I've added new volume group with single logical volume: pvcreate /dev/sdb1 vgcreate -s 32m xxx_vg /dev/sdb1 lvcreate -l 1234 -n yyy_lv xxx_vg and rebooted the server after it. When booting, the kernel panics with can't mount root file system. Looking at the console output, it seems all volume groups and all logical volumes on them were imported correctly. However, if I go to
