Please Help, vgscan finds too much LEs
Hi,
this is the second email for my problem. Unfortunately i haven't got an answer to my first one. So i'm posting again.
After i've pvreduce my VG vgscan can't activate it. here is the output:
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- only found 28926 of 28672 LEs for LV /dev/data/home (0) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" can't get data of volume group "data" from physical volume(s)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group
i don't know what i can do, it is very funny problem because 28926 LEs are found of and only 28672 sems to be needed, where are the 254 LEs from?!?
i've made a pvdata -Eva from all 5 PEs, the file is about 1mb of size, so dave everyones bandwidth i put it here: http://www.pawlak-world.de/pvdata
if more infos of my configuration is needed please conact me!
i'm using LVM v1.0.5 with kernel patch (i upgraded from 1.0.3 before i made the pvreduce)
I hope someone can help me now! It would be very nice if i can reconstruct my data, although i have a backup, but only of 60gb of the whole 200gb and it would be nice to access the rest again somehow!
bye Thorsten

That looks really odd :(
Could you send me the "dd bs=1k count=4k" of all PVs tar'ed+bzip2'ed to [email protected] and the /etc/lvmconf/data* archives as well, please.
