Hello,
I know how to recover a single md drive but I am not sure how this works
under LVM.
My situation is two drives for md0 (~130gig) and two for md1. This on
FC4 so shouldn't make that much difference.
Joined together under LVM. One of the md0 drives failed on the weekend
and I want to ensure that I do this correctly.
As the drive comes up with no file-system error, I want to pull the
drive out and test it in an external carrier and possibly map out bad
blocks.
The other option is to replace the drive with a much larger drive (price
is lower) and partition the as a replacement.
Can I just rebuild the drive under md tools and it will work in the LVM
or do I have to re-label the drive?
If I pull the drive and put it in a carrier, will I be able to pull data
off of the drive?
Basically, can I just ignore the LVM on this drive?
Well no help from the list as of yet but I did finally find this which
may be useful to others.
