AW: [linux-lvm] Broken Harddisk in LVM

Now I have done this. The VG is working, the two LVs that are not on the
broken hard disk are also ok. The only problem is the third LV that
spanned to the broken hard disk. It has an ext3 FS and if I run e2fsck
on it the e2fsck tries to recover the journal which I think is not
working (it repeats the message: "/dev/Data/Daten: recovering journal")
I also tried to deactivate the journal, but tun2fs will not delete it
because it needs to be recovered. 

Best regards

Kai

Install device-mapper + LVM2 tools _additionally_ in a seperate
location and run "vgscan ; vgchange -a y -P".

That might still leave you with unusable LVs in case their beginning
is gone with the failed disk.

If you decide to do that get back to us in case you've got installation
related questions.

    Nevertheless it needs not so stupid people to solve them ***
