It's just occurred to me that the two problems could be related. Is it possible that installing grub has damaged whatever control information LVM uses?
Have you tried running
pvscan -v # Scan for physcial volumes vgscan -v # Scan physical volumes for volume groups
Hi Adam, I hadn't but I did and got essentially the same output as before. It doesn't see the second PV that contains the 'backup' VG. So I'm still reading ... Thanks, Dave
If that finds voulume group run
vgchange -ay # vary-on the volume groups (make them available)
I'd appreciate any pointers to information, especially how-to repair such damage! Meanwhile I'll RTFM :) Oh, this is my main fileserver so the fewer reboots I have to do, the better.
No reboot should be required if the hardware is actually available.
