Any suggestions on what to do next? I've noticed that lvm archives a volume group configuration when a change is made to it (under /etc/lvm/archive.. In plain text too!) By looking at these I can tell exactly what commands I ran in order to muck things up... Fri Sep 21 17:56:48 2007: 'vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2' Fri Sep 21 18:25:40 2007: 'vgreduce VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2' Fri Sep 21 18:25:45 2007: 'vgcreate VolGroup01 /dev/sdb2' Mon Sep 24 18:37:52 2007: 'vgremove VolGroup01' Tue Sep 25 13:51:10 2007: 'vgcreate VolGroup01 /dev/sdb2' I can also tell what pv's and lv's belonged to the corresponding VolGroup in each archive. (btw, I've seen archived threads from what looks to be an old linux-lvm specific mailing list. Anyone know if this still exists? I can't find it anywhere)
