I have the restore file, asuming you talking about the bcakup file that is in /etc/lvm/backup. It looks like this:
Code:
# Generated by LVM2 version 2.02.100(2) (2013-08-13): Sun Dec 1 21:07:35 2013
contents = "Text Format Volume Group"
version = 1
description = "Created *after* executing 'vgdisplay'"
creation_host = "RJ-Server" # Linux RJ-Server 3.12.1-eRJe #1 SMP Wed Nov 27 23:01:45 CET 2013 x86_64
creation_time = 1385928455 # Sun Dec 1 21:07:35 2013
r5disk1vg {
id = "0WtcH9-QqHK-uB7H-oLOC-HuRm-VQ0G-eaUlNq"
seqno = 32
format = "lvm2" # informational
status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"]
flags = []
extent_size = 8192 # 4 Megabytes
max_lv = 0
max_pv = 0
metadata_copies = 0
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "qlYT5y-TiqU-US31-TI6n-9FQT-wZUO-FdATKK"
device = "/dev/md0" # Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 5860559232 # 2.72904 Terabytes
pe_start = 384
pe_count = 715400 # 2.72903 Terabytes
}
}
logical_volumes {
datalv {
id = "5xMXsN-7xk9-S8xn-aeMN-BX8u-zw8s-xViiZs"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
flags = []
segment_count = 1
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 51200 # 200 Gigabytes
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 0
]
}
}
auvilv {
id = "zKcZxp-lQCY-gxfc-WyJW-BHyL-mZS4-atLOl6"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
flags = []
segment_count = 1
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 524288 # 2 Terabytes
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 51200
]
}
}
}
}
My command I posted earlier is probably wrong and should have been this:
Code:
# pvcreate --uuid qlYT5y-TiqU-US31-TI6n-9FQT-wZUO-FdATKK /dev/md0
Since this is the UUID that is expected by this file?
And now I'm also wondering if I have to change the backupfile too, to match the correct UUID
Code:
r5disk1vg {
id = "0WtcH9-QqHK-uB7H-oLOC-HuRm-VQ0G-eaUlNq"
Your help is very much appreciated! Thanks!
