Hi!

After resizing, I have to restore my previous lvm configuration. I'm just not sure about the default naming of the backups?

Am I right that <vgname>.conf is the current config (which is in use now - and which is wrong), while <vgname>.conf.1.old is the previous (which I have to restore) and <vgname>.[2345].old are the older backups?

CU, Lars.

That should be correct I believe, but you could probably take a look at the timestamp on the file to verify when it was created. Depending upon which tools you've used, the first couple might be with the current config or a variant.
