Hi,
I'm quite new to LVM and I think to have a quite simple problem, but I
can not find a clear answer to it and, since it is a quite critical
problem, I'm asking to you for the right solution before messing up
everything.
I have an LVM volume made by two raid sda and sdb, with an XFS
filesystem on it; sda had a failure and its data is completely lost...
what I would like to do is to restore at least what is contained in sdb.
(The situation displayed by "lvdisplay -mP" is reported at the end of
this mail).
I tried this command: "vgchange -P -a y raid", but the device
/dev/raid/data does not exist and the /dev/mapper/raid-data I used to
mount the volume seems to be not accessible:
# xfs_check /dev/mapper/raid-data
xfs_check: /dev/mapper/raid-data is invalid (cannot read first 512 bytes)
Is the data contained in sdb recoverable? (as far as I understood, it
should) And if it is the case, which should be the right procedure to
restore it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Enrico
