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? robert
