Hey all,
I got it to work ONCE, but for the life of me I can't figure out how
to do it again.
This is what I think I did the first time, but for the second time it
just doesn't work.
root@dotcom:~# mdadm --assemble --scan
mdadm: /dev/md/2 has been started with 1 drive.
mdadm: /dev/md/3 has been started with 1 drive.
---OK, good so far. Now let's find the LVs
root@dotcom:~# lvmdiskscan
/dev/loop0 [ 213.51 MiB]
/dev/loop1 [ 206.55 MiB]
/dev/sda1 [ 30.00 GiB]
/dev/loop2 [ 220.89 MiB]
/dev/md2 [ 926.91 GiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/loop3 [ 208.05 MiB]
/dev/md3 [ 926.91 GiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sda5 [ 2.00 GiB]
/dev/sda6 [ 30.00 GiB]
/dev/sda7 [ 200.00 GiB]
/dev/sda8 [ 203.76 GiB]
/dev/sdb1 [ 2.37 GiB]
/dev/sdb2 [ 2.00 GiB]
/dev/sdc1 [ 2.37 GiB]
/dev/sdc2 [ 2.00 GiB]
/dev/sdd1 [ 465.76 GiB]
/dev/sde1 [ 149.05 GiB]
0 disks
15 partitions
0 LVM physical volume whole disks
2 LVM physical volumes
---Still looking good. Now I'm supposed to find the logical volumes,
---but lvdisplay simply doesn't show anything.
root@dotcom:~# lvdisplay
root@dotcom:~#
---Now I'm stuck. All LVM instructions I find on the Internet say that
I find the path of the LVM device by using lvdisplay. Also I know that
one hour ago I had my volumes mounted and was copying data from them.
After properly syncing and unmounting them, and stopping the LVM and
md thingys, I'm stuck now.
Any suggestions?
