 |
|
While adding a fourth hard disk I managed to damage my LVM setup, on the thrid drive, and perhaps something at the start of the drive itself:
| Code: |
vgdisplay -v
Finding all volume groups
Finding volume group "vg"
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Couldn't find device with uuid '19xZvk-LkHw-uYqJ-CATB-PYdC-sbQF-HjOLUn'.
Couldn't find device with uuid '19xZvk-LkHw-uYqJ-CATB-PYdC-sbQF-HjOLUn'.
There are 1 physical volumes missing.

I know that the missing device is /dev/sdc. How do I fix this?
I tried:
| Code: |
pvcreate --uuid "19xZvk-LkHw-uYqJ-CATB-PYdC-sbQF-HjOLUn" --restorefile /etc/lvm/archive/vg_00007.vg /dev/sdc
|
which resulted in:
| Code: |
Couldn't find device with uuid '19xZvk-LkHw-uYqJ-CATB-PYdC-sbQF-HjOLUn'.
Device /dev/sdc not found (or ignored by filtering).

pvdisplay -v shows:
