Re: [linux-lvm] pb with vgimport

[Sébastien GALLET <sgallet ibourgogne net>]

1.0.4 with redhat 7.3 (2.4.18 patched by myself)
More informations :
When i did
vgimport lvmvg1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdg1 :
vgimports said that only 3 PVs ( of the 4) were given in arguments

but when i did 
vgimport lvmvg1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdk :
vgimport said : 
vgimport -- ERROR: wrong number of physical volumes to import volume group "lvmvg1
That's why i think that there's a problem with hdk (which is a whole LVM
disk not a LVM partition).
But data on this disk seems to be good because i've restore them by changing
PV_EXPlvmvg1PV_EXPPV_EXPPV_EXP 
into 
PV_IMPlvmvg1 with Linux Disk Editor
Any idea ???

Ps : Sorry for my english ...:">
