[linux-lvm] After replacing sata card can't read

[Glynn Morrison]

I had a SATA controller card die on me. After I replaced the card I had to re-create the raid array in order to get mdadm to admit that the two disks previously on the faulty controller where not in fact faulty. This worked fine but after I didn't get anything from pvdisplay etc.

Last lvm backup before this all went south:

raid {
        id = "KFk3aC-IYfB-y2VI-R2aZ-xu1M-g0YJ-eYQetH"
        seqno = 8
        status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"]
        extent_size = 8192              # 4 Megabytes
        max_lv = 0
        max_pv = 0

        physical_volumes {

                pv0 {
                        id = "uRm1dv-M80B-YRPp-vNM8-WNth-kuke-oNCGHG"
                        device = "/dev/md2"     # Hint only

                        status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
                        pe_start = 384
                        pe_count = 596171       # 2.27421 Terabytes
                }

        }
        logical_volumes {

                all {
                        id = "jYuHXU-UaNa-cepc-juzv-RebF-zmJL-eJhiZU"
                        status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
                        segment_count = 1

                        segment1 {
                                start_extent = 0
                                extent_count = 576000   # 2.19727 Terabytes

                                type = "striped"
                                stripe_count = 1        # linear

                                stripes = [
                                        "pv0", 0
                                ]
                        }
                }
        }
}

what I did:

  mdadm  --create --assume-clean /dev/md2 --level=5 --raid-devices=6 /dev/sd[a-f]1

  pvcreate -u uRm1dv-M80B-YRPp-vNM8-WNth-kuke-oNCGHG /dev/md2
  vgcfgrestore -f lvm-raid raid

Latter I tried: pvcreate --restorefile lvm-raid -u uRm1dv-M80B-YRPp-vNM8-WNth-kuke-oNCGHG /dev/md2 instead to the same affect.

current output:

diff /etc/lvm/backup/raid lvm-raid:
  ...
  <       seqno = 9
  ---
 >       seqno = 8

and the problem:

  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/raid/all
  xfs_check: unexpected XFS SB magic number 0x00000000

I'm assuming that all this wont have affected the actual data on the drive, but I'm at a loss of what to do now, as far as I can see everything is now as it was...

I would sincerely appreciate any help.

Rgrds,

Glynn
