Hi,
After a reboot I have lost a volume (/dev/lvm1) but not an other (/dev/lvm2)
(vgscan doesn't see lvm1 !)
I am trying to restore it, using vgcfgrestore, but I have the message below :
# vgcfgrestore -n lvm1 /dev/lvm1
vgcfgrestore -- can't restore part of active volume group "lvm1"
vgcfgrestore [-d|--debug] [-f|--file VGConfPath] [-l[l]|--list [--list]]
[-n|--name VolumeGroupName] [-h|--help]
[-o|--oldpath OldPhysicalVolumePath] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose]
[--version] [PhysicalVolumePath]
# vgcfgrestore -n lvm1 /dev/lvmOLD
vgcfgrestore -- invalid physical volume "/dev/lvmOLD"
vgcfgrestore [-d|--debug] [-f|--file VGConfPath] [-l[l]|--list [--list]]
[-n|--name VolumeGroupName] [-h|--help]
[-o|--oldpath OldPhysicalVolumePath] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose]
[--version] [PhysicalVolumePath]
WHY this message !
What do I do ?
