Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.06-3 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Hello all,
Some time ago, on my testing debian install, I created a vg named vg00 over a software mirror raid1 as pv for a debootstrap, as well a vg_raid5 over a sw raid5 pv for data. All seems to work fine. I was just surprised to always get a message at boot time like: [snip] Volume group "root_vg" not found [snip] (even thought I never created it) that I tried to rename vg00 into root_vg. 'vgrename vg00 root_vg' seems to me to be the good candidate for such operation and also seems to work if I trust message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/lvm/backup# vgrename vg00 root_vg Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Volume group "vg00" successfully renamed to "root_vg" but actualy silently failed (no error msg anywhere): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/lvm/backup# vgchange -a y root_vg Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Volume group "root_vg" not found reading <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/>: "Bug 147361: Fix duplicate VG name handling." fixed another pb but my case seems to be far well simpler and would work too. Any idea (hppa platform pb, target name reserved, ...) ? Tia, Joel PS1: I also tried another method like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/lvm/backup# vgcfgrestore -f root_vg root_vg Restored volume group root_vg unfortunately: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/lvm/backup# vgchange -a y root_vg Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Volume group "root_vg" not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/lvm/backup# vgchange root_vg -a y Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Failed to read VG data from PV (/dev/sdb1) Volume group "root_vg" not found PS2: fortunately I didn't lost anything: -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: hppa (parisc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-rc5-d32mp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02 2:1.02.08-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.14-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii lvm-common 1.5.20 The Logical Volume Manager for Lin lvm2 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: lvm2/snapshots: --- Scarlet One - Combinez l'ADSL avec la telephonie fixe illimitee et epargnez 400 euros http://www.scarlet.be
