Hi!
This question has probably been answered a few times, but it's prooving
difficult to get a definitive answer from google, the howto or the mailing
lists.
Anyone want to help me?
The situation:
I've got a 2T LVM consisting of 14 individual IDE discs of varying sizes.
There is no raid or mirroring.
I'm not sure of the configuration (striped or other) but will include the
"metadata" later in this email. I just set it up, and have been forced to
fill it up everytime a disc died on me (something allways went wrong
trying to restore). Not a big problem, but a bit tidious ;)
Now, a disc have died on me again, a 120G disc, and the question is:
How can i restore the whole LVM minus the data on the 120G disc?
I'll loose 120G or more, but would like to keep whatever
possible.
The file system used is reiserfs, the files are mainly large 300mb+ files,
i have not run any filesystem checks after the disk failed, i would like a
step by step guide if possible :)
