All,
I have a LVM based data disk with 3 LVs. My OS disks are _not_ LVM based.
We had a lightning storm over the weekend, and an old kernel (2.4.18) got
booted when the machine was powered back on. I have 2.4.19 running again now.
Now I get the following:
SuSEbox:~ # pvscan
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sda1" is associated to unknown VG "TruStore-Data"
(run vgscan)
pvscan -- total: 1 [55.91 GB] / in use: 1 [55.91 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]
SuSEbox:~ # vgscan
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- ERROR "lv_read_all_lv(): number of LV" can't get data of volume group
"TruStore-Data" from physical volume(s)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group
SuSEbox:~ #
Any ideas on how to restore my LVM config tables (VGDAs ??). I think LVM keeps
backups somewhere.
