[SOLVED] Retrieving LVM on existing hardware with new OS install

FrizzledOldButt · 06-04-2021, 10:29 PM

I'm having a bad senior's moment.

Cannot remember the sequence of CLI command steps to retrieve information and restore and LVM on existing hardware (new Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS install).

Can someone remind me. Gently

Cheers

I would think Ubuntu should find them on boot these days. If you need to bring them online without a boot, pvscan followed by "vgchange -ay" should do the business. Might need a vgscan in there as well, but I wouldn't think it necessary.

Absolutely correct. Thanks. I only had to retrieve the device details and mount it. Excellent.
