[linux-lvm] Need to remove broken hdd, and need to move the stuff i can from the broken disk

[^YosH^]

Hi, I have a bit of a problem, I have just bought a new 250 GB disk and
I have put it into my lvm, but now it seems to be broken so I need to
replace it. But I have data on it that I need to save. I don't know how
much of the disk is used by data and I don't know how much is free on
the other disks.

I have 5 disks in the LVM

/dev/hdg is the one that is broken... when I have mounted the lvm disk
and are trying to read or write to it this shows up in the logs:

How can I remove the disk? And how can I figure out whats actually
stored on it... I really need to have the rest of the lvm saved. And I
don't have any backups. (I know I should have backups but I haven't had
time to get a backup station that can store all that stuff on not too
many tapes...)

Would appreciate any help, thank you.

Have you looked at pvmove ?

RE: [linux-lvm] Need to remove broken hdd, and need to move the stuff i can from the broken disk

[^YosH^]

Yes, pvmove tells me I don’t have enough free extents... isn’t there any
command for like forcing to move as much as possible of the data to
other disks... if not, its worth a feature request... is there any way
to find out what data is on the disk I need to replace?

I'm sure Alasdair could tell you a way to find out using the lvs
command.  I tend to just look at /etc/lvm/backup/<vg name>.  Send this
file to me (off list) if you have trouble interpreting it.  You'll
probably want to shrink the fs/volume that is on the bad pv before
doing the move.

[^YosH^]

Seems I don’t have that backup dir, don’t even have a /etc/lvm dir...
I have tried to shrink the fs but the drive seems to hang the system
when I reach the bad blocks. Since I use ext3 I cant "cut" the fs off
like I would be able to do with like reiserFS... anyone have any ideas
of what to do ?
I have been trying to move stuff of the lvm too to free som space, but
the drive hangs everytime there is a dir that’s located on the crashed
disk...

It would be great with some handeling of crashed drives... some fault
tolerance...

That means you must be using LVM1.

Try the 'pvdata' command (see man page for options) to find out what's
on a particular PV.

[For people reading this in the list archives, the LVM2 command to see 
the layout is lvdisplay --maps]

Another option: 
    An fsck (not while fs is mounted) with the badblocks option?  [-c]

But if the whole disk is gone, the best option is likely to be LVM2's 
partial mode (see list archives).

Yeah im using lvm1, sorry I did not mention this but I didn’t realize
the new version was out, ill have to look into upgrading it... I have
done a fsck without the fs mounted both with and without the -c switch
with the same result every time, the lvm seem to hang and the following
shows up in my kernel log:

Jul 27 22:00:38 c-47bf72d5 kernel: hdg: dma_intr: status=0x51 {

Before I can do anything else I need to reboot the box and try to access
the drive again...

Tried that pvdata command and got this:

it doesn’t tell me much... is a upgrade to lvm2 hard to do? And do I
have to convert the lvm in some way? Maybe it will be easier to fix with
lvm2...

That means you must be using LVM1.

Try the 'pvdata' command (see man page for options) to find out what's
on a particular PV.

[For people reading this in the list archives, the LVM2 command to see 
the layout is lvdisplay --maps]

Another option: 
    An fsck (not while fs is mounted) with the badblocks option?  [-c]

But if the whole disk is gone, the best option is likely to be LVM2's 
partial mode (see list archives).
