This is one that i have not been able to find any documentation on.
Problem: my 3.18tb lvm volume will not mount
My setup: i have ununtu 7.10 server 64-bit with webmin installed. this is where it gets fun. i have 5 disks. 3 are 500gb ide drives in a software raid-0 /dev/md2. two more are 1tb sata disksin a second raid-0 array /dev/md1. i know i know raid-0 is horrible but i was stupid. these two raid arrays were being used as lvm drive. my electicity wint out and when it came back on that is when the fun started. the lvm would not mount. after some investigation i have discovered that one of the 1tb drives is not working properly. /dev/md1 was showing as inactive on webmin. i enabled it manually and did a pvdisplay. no errors came up. i thought that all was well, however when i tried to mount the lvm it failed. it said bad superblock. however when i did a vgscan i noticed that my there were errors in my physical volumes. i looked at my raids again and now /dev/md1 was showing as not active. for some reason when i tried to mount the lvm it moved the location of one of the 1tb drives from /dev/sdb1 to /dev/.static/sdb1,
Finally the question: why did my dev point move when i tried to mount the lvm? please let me know any information that i left out.
Thanks in advance!!
