Hi,
I've been having some problems with my LVM disk array.
First off i was suspecting a failing hard disk
Code:
smartctl /dev/sde
# 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 4861 280578
# 2 Short offline Completed: read failure 90% 4860 28055778
# 3 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 4860 2805778
I tried correcting this with
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde conv=sync bs=4096 count=1 seek=2805778
Repeated till there were no more errors.
I tried mounting the disk but it still had errors. e.g. Input/Output error when trying ls in the directory. (I could access roughly half my files)
--
I was looking around and noticed my other disk /dev/sdf didn't have a partition label.
Code:
Error: Unable to open /dev/sdf - unrecognised disk label.
I Know This Was A Mistake Now But I corrected it with:
Code:
parted /dev/sdf
mklabel gpt
This cleared my lvm info.
I restored it with?
Code:
parted
mkpart primary 0 3000000
set 1 boot on
This made my partition appear again.
I assumed everything was okay as it let me mount my lvm array again.
I knew there were problems with the disk so i preformed
Code:
fsck -C -f -y /dev/LVM_SATA/dvd
I Left this going overnight.
I came back to find half my files missing!
I unmounted the LVM.
I have now tried restoring the LVM from a backup i had made before it all went wrong.
I then restored it with
Code:
pvcreate --uuid I11Uen-ra92-OEt0-h9LZ-Dj9z-l03m-WKapaG --restorefile ./LVM_SATA /dev/sdf1
Now mount gives
Code:
mount: special device /dev/LVM_SATA/dvd does not exist
Code:
