My System: up-to-date Fedora 13 The Situation: I have two 2TB drives (/dev/sde1, /dev/sdf1) bound into a RAID-1 on /dev/md1. This device (md1) is an lvm PV on which there is a single VG (vg_medulla_bkup) In the VG is a single LV (vg_bkup). All has been working well since I built it two weeks ago. Today I did something VERY stupid: I accidently stopped the array by typing md1 instead md2. I was able to start it again by assembling it, and I can query the RAID just fine, but somehow the LV device has become "disconnected" from md1. Wheneven I query the LV I get lines like. /dev/vg_medulla_bkup/lv_bkup: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 2000393535488: Input/output error /dev/vg_medulla_bkup/lv_bkup: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error /dev/vg_medulla_bkup/lv_bkup: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 4096: Input/output error I suppose what I did was the equivalent of unplugging the phsyical device out from underneath an ordinary (non-RAID) Volume Group sitting on it. I could try to reboot and hope for the best. But this RAID contains a year's worth of backups and I really don't want to destroy it. So I thought I'd try the Font of Knowledge first. Are there lvm or other commands that will "reconnect" lvm? Maybe `vgmknodes' ?
