[linux-lvm] Replace Drive in RAID6

[Adam Puleo]

Hello,

One of my drives failed in my RAID6 and I’m trying to replace it without success.

I’m trying to rebuild the failed drive (/dev/sda): lvchange --rebuild /dev/sda vg_data

But I’m receiving the error: vg_data/lv_data must be active to perform this operation.

I have tried to activate the logical volume without success.

How do I go about activating the volume so that I can rebuild the failed drive?

Thanks,
-Adam
