Thank you. I've installed the version from Ubuntu 16.10 and the
vgimportclone command worked fine now :).
Still gives those same errors mostly (the duplication detection output)
and provides no other success output that made me a little scared,
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 on /dev/sdc4 was
already found on /dev/sdb4.
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 prefers device
/dev/sdb4 because device is used by LV.
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 on /dev/sdc4 was
already found on /dev/sdb4.
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 prefers device
/dev/sdb4 because of previous preference.
Couldn't find device with uuid ZvvuxB-8sgu-quBO-ZQDW-zKr8-pYzI-qF1ygK.
Particularly because one half of a mirrored LV is always missing :p so I
get that last line too, but because I don't memorize my PV UUIDs I'm
always a bit uncertain what it could mean :P.
But the output from lvs indicated that the result was achieved:
msata-lv coll -wi------- 28,91g
raid-lv coll -wi------- 464,36g
msata-lv coll2 -wi-ao---- 28,91g
raid-lv coll2 -wi-ao---- 464,36g
(I renamed my vgs in reverse after the fact).
The above is a terrible design choice I made lol. Instead of creating an
extra partition which would have meant an extended partition to hold 2
distinct PVs, I embedded them in a single partition using a single PV.
The amount of trouble that gives.
Anyway, thank you for your dear answers, previously I was told it was
all my fault because I was stupid and didn't know how to use the tools
properly.
So thanks for that, cya.
