Has the failed drive been removed from the vg?
Hi,
I have a 1.5TB drive (/dev/sda) that failed but may have started failing over the the previous week (there was a point where the system did a fsck on the vg which I thought was related to the system rebooting after a power failure). I didn't notice anything untoward until today when I gather the drive finally failed.
The thing is that when I run the various commands, there is nothing to suggest that this drive is part of the vg yet I know it was
# vgdisplay /dev/sda: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 0: Input/output error /dev/sda: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 4141940736: Input/output error /dev/sda: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 4142043136: Input/output error /dev/sda: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 4096: Input/output error /dev/sda: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error --- Volume group --- VG Name mythtv System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 3 Metadata Sequence No 2 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 Max PV 0 Cur PV 3 Act PV 3 VG Size 6.77 TiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 1775136 Alloc PE / Size 1775136 / 6.77 TiB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID 634Wwa-MmIs-MWXO-zm7v-7Hhf-bX27-kO3WMg

From the above I should be able to physically remove the drive and add a new one (to the VG) using the standard procedures?
Thanks in advance,
