I have two backup drives which use LVM partitions and groups. I also
have LVM partitions and groups on my main system.
When I try even vgscan on the backup disks, I get weird errors. Read
errors, can't find the vg groups, can't write ... sort of works for
reading, but I wasn't interested in exploring a bad mount, and I am
not about to actually try backing up to it and possibly trash what is
there, or potentially used to be :-O
What makes me nervous is that gentoo ~amd64 has twice before botched
an LVM upgrade and caused some tense times while I got it back in
shape. When the system won't even boot properly without a proper LVM,
it can raise my pulse ... I would rather keep this working system
running even tho it won't let me mount my backup drives.
My current LVM version is sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.67-r2, merged on 16 June.
I rebooted on 26 June (2.6.34-gentoo-r1) and backed up last weekend no
problems. Seems like something else must have changed since them.
These are the only sys-*/ ones which seem likely ...
sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.12
sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.12
I see that sys-apps/util-linux-2.18 has failed:
Failed Patch: util-linux-ng-2.17.1-20100308.diff
Does anyone have a clue for me?
