** Description changed: Binary package hint: lvm2 During an Ubuntu update the default filter for lvm changed to filter = [ "a|/dev/sd[bc]|", "r/.*/" ] from (as far as I can remember) filter = [ "a|.*|", "r/.*/" ] (or something to that affect, really accepting every block device as the above comment in the lvm.conf file states) This is really silly because it only accepts only /dev/sdb* and /dev/sdc* as devices for lvm. Ony of my PVs was /dev/sda1. As a result I was getting errors such as (for you googlers out there): - Couldn't find device with uuid 'WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx- + Couldn't find device with uuid 'WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx- flP2-obQF07'. I didn't know what all this meant and nearly went as far as trying - pvcreate --uuid "abc123..." --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/bla - /dev/sda1 + pvcreate --uuid "WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx-flP2-obQF07" + --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/vg /dev/sda1 This kind of stuff is really difficult to debug for a newbie. Using Ubuntu 10.04, lvm2 2.02.54-1ubuntu4.
