My VG disappeared after change lvm filter. How to restore it?
Issue
- My original lvm filter defined in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf was:
filter = [ "a/.*/" ]
- Using that filter I had the following vgs output:
$ vgs -v
Finding all volume groups
Finding volume group "rootvg"
VG Attr Ext #PV #LV #SN VSize VFree VG UUID
root_vg wz--n- 32.00M 1 10 0 19.88G 6.59G A120aA-770a-9AaA-7aa4-aaaa-AAa1-A2312A
- Then I changed it to the filter bellow and my VG dissapeared:
filter = [ "a|/dev/sda2$|", "a|/dev/sdb2$|", "a|/dev/mapper/mpath.*|", "r|.*|" ]
- And my VG dissapeared and I received the following vgs output :
$ vgs -v
WARNING: Ignoring duplicate config node: filter (seeking filter)
