Hi,
We had an OS crash on x86_64 CentOS , LVM2 and it had 6TB LUN via IP
SCSI SAN mounted to it and after the OS reinstall on a crash we had hard
time to mount the original SAN volume as you can imagine 6TB
of marketing data with 3 LVM partitions as data data1 and data2 . After
troubleshooting almost for a day I was able to get the LVM metadata using
dd from the SAN LUN /dev/sdd1 which I used to recreate and restore all LVM
partitions back to original state , we sure became the raving fans of LVM
today ! however after all the recovery I see this annoying warning each
time I execute any of the lvm commands ..

data1 vg0 -wi-ao 2.00T
data2 vg0 -wi-ao 1.44T
I believe previously we had created PV using /dev/sdd1 and /dev/sdc1
although from the same LUN but now I was able to restore everything using
just /dev/sdd1 and everything looks intact (until I hear marketing whine
tom:)

Partial mode. Incomplete logical volumes will be processed.

I tried to fix this by but it just won't go..
vgreduce --removemissing vg0

/dev/sdc1
Volume group "vg0" is already consistent
why does LVM think that it's still using PV ( /dev/sdc1 ) when it no more
exists ? and how do i get rid of it ?
I also see some of these in syslog messages
hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdc1.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdc1.

thx,
