5.4.3.3. Repairing a Mirrored Logical Device
You can use the
lvconvert --repair
command to repair a mirror after a disk failure. This brings the mirror back into a consistent state. The lvconvert --repair
command is an interactive command that prompts you to indicate whether you want the system to attempt to replace any failed devices.
- To skip the prompts and replace all of the failed devices, specify the
-y
option on the command line. - To skip the prompts and replace none of the failed devices, specify the
-f
option on the command line. - To skip the prompts and still indicate different replacement policies for the mirror image and the mirror log, you can specify the
--use-policies
argument to use the device replacement policies specified by themirror_log_fault_policy
andmirror_device_fault_policy
parameters in thelvm.conf
file.
