無法新增 PV

Device /dev/sdj not found (or ignored by filtering).

Solution: 可能該磁碟有包含其他磁區

# fdisk -l /dev/sdj

移除這磁碟裡的所有磁區後再試一次。

移除已損壞的 PV

無法移除已經損壞 PV 的 VG 與 LV

有一個 PV - /dev/sdc 發生損毀，所屬 VG 與 LV 要移除時遇到錯誤：

Couldn't find device with uuid APgmaN-yCZG-WfQS-L5zm-vd6g-oEJc-WjzNrT.
Can't remove locked LV isths_DMS

Couldn't find device with uuid APgmaN-yCZG-WfQS-L5zm-vd6g-oEJc-WjzNrT.
WARNING: Partial LV isths_home needs to be repaired or removed.
WARNING: Partial LV isths_DMS needs to be repaired or removed.
WARNING: Partial LV pvmove0 needs to be repaired or removed.
There are still partial LVs in VG vg_db.
To remove them unconditionally use: vgreduce --removemissing --force.
Proceeding to remove empty missing PVs.

Solution: VG Name: vg_db

# vgcfgbackup vg_db
  Couldn't find device with uuid APgmaN-yCZG-WfQS-L5zm-vd6g-oEJc-WjzNrT.
  Volume group "vg_db" successfully backed up.

/etc/lvm/backup/vg_db:

...
logical_volumes {
...
...
}
...

將段落 logical_volumes 整個移除。

執行 vgcfgrestore

# vgcfgrestore vg_db
  Restored volume group vg_db

重新掃描再重新執行移除 LV 與 VG

pvs
vgs
lvs
vgremove vg_db

USB 掛載包含有 LVM 的硬碟，出現錯誤訊息

# mount -t ext3 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/lvm00
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Solution:

vgchange -an VolGroup00
vgchange -ay VolGroup00
mount -t ext3 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/lvm00

移除 PV Disk

~~從一個現有 LV 中移除正在使用的一個 PV Disk (/dev/sdb1)~~

~~NOTE: 這個 LV 的所屬 VG 必須要有足夠的可用空間~~

搬移 PV Disk

~~搬移現有 PV Disk (/dev/sdb1) 內的所有資料至一個新的 PV Disk (/dev/sdd1)~~

方法一：使用 Mirror 方式 *建議*

~~參考連結:~~

~~https://www.thegeekdiary.com/centos-rhel-7-how-to-create-and-remove-the-lvm-mirrors-using-lvconvert/~~
~~https://linux.m2osw.com/creating-drive-mirror-lvm-including-exact-partition-cloning~~

~~說明:~~

~~VG: vg_data~~ ~~LV: db_worktmp, lv_mydev, lv_worktmp~~ ~~PV: from /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdc~~

~~1. 確認新硬碟的容量需求~~

#> lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices,lv_size vg_data

  LV         Cpy%Sync Devices         LSize
  db_worktmp          /dev/sdb1(0)      20.00g
  lv_mydev            /dev/sdb1(5121)   60.00g
  lv_mydev            /dev/sdb1(10242)  60.00g
  lv_worktmp          /dev/sdb1(20482) 500.00m

~~2. 將新硬碟加入到同一個 VG 內~~

#> vgextend vg_data /dev/sdc

~~3. 逐一將所有 LV 作完 Mirror~~

#> lvconvert -m1 vg_data/db_worktmp
#> lvconvert -m1 vg_data/lv_mydev
#> lvconvert -m1 vg_data/lv_worktmp 

檢查 Mirror 時的進度
#> lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices,lv_size vg_data

~~4. 逐一將所有 LV 移除 Mirror，需指定舊硬碟代號~~

#> lvconvert -m0 vg_data/db_worktmp /dev/sdb1
#> lvconvert -m0 vg_data/lv_mydev /dev/sdb1
#> lvconvert -m0 vg_data/lv_worktmp /dev/sdb1

~~5. 從 VG 裡移除 PV /dev/sdb1, 再移除整個 PV~~

#> vgreduce vg_data /dev/sdb1
#> pvremove /dev/sdb1

~~方法二：使用 PV 搬移指令 pvmove~~

~~NOTE: PV 必須在同一個 VG 才能互相搬移~~

無法新增 LV

系統剛安裝完，執行 pvdisplay -C 出現錯誤，並且無法新增 LV

Couldn't find device with uuid ZrneWS-8KHd-UiXV-rQ4q-YU0o-r9Ga-0ZVBPW

Solution: 這個硬碟可能曾經做過 LVM 格式化，這些是之前遺留的裝置名稱，要清除這些不存在的舊設定。

# vgreduce -removemissing <vg-name>

TIPs：

要查出這些不存在的 device 的所屬 VG，可以執行 pvdisplay 。
