Hi,<div><br></div><div>Got an odd situation here, where I can&#39;t find my volume group any more.</div><div><br></div><div>Earlier tonight I moved my logical volumes from an old drive to a new drive</div><div>Before, I had</div>
<div><br></div><div>sdf1 - /boot</div><div>sdf2 - pv - system volume group - contained root, swap, home</div><div><br></div><div>To move things, I did a pvcreate on the new partition, sdg1</div><div>then vgextend system /dev/sdg1</div>
<div>then pvmove /dev/sdf2 /dev/sdg1</div><div><br></div><div>Sure enough, it moved all my lvs over.</div><div>Was then able to &#39;vgreduce system /dev/sdf2&#39; and &#39;pvremove /dev/sdf2&#39;</div><div>Lastly, moved /boot contents to be inside /, and unmounted /boot</div>
<div><br></div><div>My next plan was to install grub2, chainloaded, since I&#39;d need that to boot from inside an lvm.  At this point, ubuntu didn&#39;t like it, and errored on configuring grub-pc, saying it couldn&#39;t detect the filesystem.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Stupidly, I decided to reboot, at which point it loaded grub (1), booted the initrd/kernel, and then couldn&#39;t find root.</div><div><br></div><div>Inside a rescue environment, sure enough, if I do &#39;pvs&#39;, I can see my pv, but it doesn&#39;t have a VG.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any suggestions on how to rectify this?  Why doesn&#39;t it know it&#39;s part of the &#39;system&#39; volume group?  I presume once it remembers this, I should be able to boot again.</div><div><br></div>
<div>cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>      / Brett</div>
