Okay, so I got a new hard drive, and got my LVM back up using the 'partial' mode. I haven't lost anything I cared about. |
2 |
Any further hard drive recovery will involve some kind of service and likely lost of $$ - if I cared that much. |
3 |
|
4 |
Any how...I had /opt and /usr/local mapped to the VG - they were the only parts of the VG that were lost. |
5 |
I know some stuff was installed to /opt at the very least (at least java, and netscape extensions). |
6 |
|
7 |
So, are there any existing tools that will detect missing installed files and rebuild those specific builds? |
8 |
Otherwise, I might try to write a script to do it, but I'd prefer something that already exists. |
9 |
|
10 |
The system may be partially hosed until I can resolve this. |
11 |
|
12 |
TIA, |

Well...I'm fairly certain that data recovery might not be very easy - or cheap for the matter. |
25 |
The system gets stuck during POST while trying to detect the SATA drive. |
26 |
|
27 |
Using "vgreduce --removemissing" will be okay - once I verify the current state of the VG. |
28 |
Is there a way to do so _with_ it trying to detect the existence of the partitions or drives? i.e. skip an integrity check and just print out what it thinks the VG is comprised of - that's really what I want at the moment. |

vgreduce --removemissing |

However there's no gaurantee you'll be able to recover your data (LVM is |
43 |
not redundancy). |
