本文笔记了一次从已经崩溃的LVM文件系统中抢救数据的过程。
================================================================================
(1) 系统和操作环境
================================================================================
Old crashed system environment（旧系统中有两个磁盘）:
/dev/hda1pv0VolGroup00LogVol00
/dev/hdb1pv1VolGroup00LogVol00
New recover system environment（将旧磁盘挂到一个抢救环境之中）:
/dev/hda1pv0VolGroup00LogVol00
/dev/hdb1pv0VolGroup01LogVol00 <<< old hda1
/dev/hdc1pv1VolGroup01LogVol00 <<< old hdb1
================================================================================
(2) Retrieve old system's LVM configuration(VGDA - Volume Group Descriptor Area)
================================================================================
Retrieve partition table from hard disk device（复制旧磁盘的分区表）:
# sfdisk -d /dev/hdb > /tmp/hdb.pt
# sfdisk -d /dev/hdc > /tmp/hdc.pt
Retrieve（复制旧磁盘的头部，可用以读取旧的LVM的配置信息）:
# dd if=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=255 skip=1 of=/tmp/hdb.bs
# dd if=/dev/hdc bs=512 count=255 skip=1 of=/tmp/hdc.bs
Note: the LVM configuration may be saved in several location.
Search keyword "VolGroup" in partition table(all VGDA are same in PVs):
# less /tmp/hdb.bs
# less /tmp/hdc.bs
(读取和查找LVM的配置信息，然后复制其内容，建立一个抢救文件，以供恢复使用)
Create LVM configuration file for restoring later（根据读取结果，创建一个LVM配置）:
Please refer the current LVM configuration settings（可参考目前的LVM配置文件格式）:
You can get the configuration with command vgcfgbackup（备份命令建立一个LVM配置）:
# vgcfgbackup -d -v VolGroup00 --file /tmp/VolGroup00.bak;
********************************************************************************
如下是本次的抢救文件内容，因为抢救系统本身也使用LVM，所以需要手工修改部分名称。
********************************************************************************
vim /tmp/VolGroup01.save;#Change VG name and device if need;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
contents = "Text Format Volume Group"
version = 1
description = ""
creation_host = "localhost.localdomain"
creation_time = 1258044126 # Thu Nov 12 16:42:06 2008

start_extent = 0
extent_count = 1221

stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv1", 0
]
}
segment2 {
start_extent = 1221
extent_count = 900
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 0
]
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
注：以上将卷组改名为VolGroup01，物理卷的设备路径也要相应修改；
================================================================================
(3) Recover恢复数据
================================================================================
Backup current LVM configuration(备份当前系统的LVM配置):
vgcfgbackup -d -v VolGroup00 --file /tmp/VolGroup00.bak;
Restore old LVM configuration from /tmp/VolGroup01.save(从抢救文件中恢复配置);
# vgcfgrestore --file /tmp/VolGroup01.save VolGroup01;
********************************************************************************
如有需要，请参考vgcfgrestore命令的说明：
********************************************************************************
# lvm help vgcfgrestore

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
将所恢复的LVM逻辑卷挂载，然后复制数据：
# mkdir /mnt/vgtmp
# mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 /mnt/vgtmp
（成功复制数据之后，抢救任务完成）
