Well I've run out of things to try and am about to start the process of
reinstalling everything. But i thought I'd give it one last try to see if
anyone had any ideas?
The story goes, I have three partitions on one hard drive /dev/hda1 (a 30
meg /boot) /dev/hda2, and /dev/hda3 are both LVM.
/dev/hda3 was the only LVM partition. I vgextened to include /dev/hda2,
then rebooted and now vgscan finds no volume groups.
pvscan only shoes that /dev/hda3 is part of a volume group and doesn't see
anything about /dev/hda2
uud_fixer gives me
#./uuid_fixer /dev/hda2 /dev/hda3
/dev/hda2 - pv_read{}: PV identifier invalid
but if i run it just against /dev/hda3 i get
#./uuid_fixer /dev/hda3
Error: number of PVs passed in does not match number of PVs in /dev/hda3s
VG
1 PVs where passed in and 2 where expected
#pvdata -U /dev/hda2 gives
pvdata -- ERROR "pv_read{}: PV identifier invalid" reading physical volume
uuid list from physical volume "/dev/hda2"
#pvdata -U /dev/hda3 gives
--- List of physical volume UUIDs ---
000: elhLXoMw5J8qaEgN2DzEYoWoqhqH7H5a
001: 9AoOf5F6c58dcyJ30pfwNp153TI5PjLF
So /dev/hda2 has no information about being in volumegroup rootvg but
rootvg thinks it is, or at least thats as near as i can tell what's
wrong. Is there some way to remove /dev/hda2 from the volume group even if
i can't find it with vgscan. Is there some way to change /dev/hda2 so it
thinks there it is part of the volume group?
Thanks again for any help

perhaps just blowing away your VG, then re-setting the volumes as PVs in
that vg, then growing them one at a time?

How would you do that? I'm booted to a rescue disk now and have no vg's at
all, sence vgscan finds nothing. How do i reset the volumes as
PVs? /dev/hda3 is the only one i care about, its the only one with data on
it. Right now /dev/hda3 shows its part of the rootvg.
thanks

blowing off the VG will loose data.
try:
vgexport blah;
vgimport blah PV PV PV;
Export will remove the vg from local disk but leave
the VG info on the platters. Import will re-build
the VG on the disk.

I know it would lose data. But, from the sounds..it sounded as though that
has already happened.

I can't export it because it doesn't know it exists because vgscan can't find
it.

Peachy. Now just try vgimporting it. The PV's themselves
may have sufficient metadata to get away with it.

Since you cat access /etc..you have no way of getting to /etc/lvmtab.d or
/etc/lvmtab. If you could get to either of those, I believe it would work.

/ was part in /dev/rootvg/root_lv and all of the lvs where in /dev/hda3
is there some way to use pvdata and dd to get the files out of there?
