I recovered a failed array, which has an LVM2 on it, how do I mount it? Here's what I've done:
lvmdiskscan /dev/md0
/dev/loop0 [ 873.62 MiB]
/dev/md0 [ 7.28 TiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sde1 [ 7.44 GiB]
0 disks
2 partitions
0 LVM physical volume whole disks
1 LVM physical volume
Okay, so that's my LVM, now:
root@debian:/home/user >: vgdisplay
--- Volume group ---
VG Name backupvol1
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 1
Metadata Sequence No 1
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 0
Open LV 0
Max PV 0
Cur PV 1
Act PV 1
VG Size 7.28 TiB
PE Size 4.00 MiB
Total PE 1907283
Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0
Free PE / Size 1907283 / 7.28 TiB
VG UUID PUWpCT-3Irs-M2E8-3ASZ-V4Fa-7WpW-6qcKfT
But I don't get any LVM's when I try to activate it:
root@debian:/home/user >: vgchange -ay backupvol1
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "backupvol1" now active
Doesn't quite look right
pvscan
PV /dev/md0 VG backupvol1 lvm2 [7.28 TiB / 7.28 TiB free]
Total: 1 [7.28 TiB] / in use: 1 [7.28 TiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
What am I missing? If I understand this vgdisplay, I have something corrupt:
vgdisplay -v backupvol1
DEGRADED MODE. Incomplete RAID LVs will be processed.
Using volume group(s) on command line

That data will let us know if there is another PV member that might be missing from this volume group, as well as what device it would be. – Spooler Mar 02 '18 at 01:05
