本文筆記了一次從已經崩潰的LVM文件系統中搶救數據的過程。
================================================================================
(1) 系統和操作環境
================================================================================
Old crashed system environment（舊系統中有兩個磁盤）:
/dev/hda1 pv0 VolGroup00 LogVol00
/dev/hdb1 pv1 VolGroup00 LogVol00
New recover system environment（將舊磁盤掛到一個搶救環境之中）:
/dev/hda1 pv0 VolGroup00 LogVol00
/dev/hdb1 pv0 VolGroup01 LogVol00 <<< old hda1
/dev/hdc1 pv1 VolGroup01 LogVol00 <<< old hdb1
================================================================================
(2) Retrieve old system's LVM configuration(VGDA - Volume Group Descriptor Area)
================================================================================
Retrieve partition table from hard disk device（復制舊磁盤的分區表）:
# sfdisk -d /dev/hdb > /tmp/hdb.pt
# sfdisk -d /dev/hdc > /tmp/hdc.pt
Retrieve（復制舊磁盤的頭部，可用以讀取舊的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
(讀取和查找LVM的配置信息，然後復制其內容，建立一個搶救文件，以供恢復使用)
Create LVM configuration file for restoring later（根據讀取結果，創建一個LVM配置）:
Please refer the current LVM configuration settings（可參考目前的LVM配置文件格式）:
You can get the configuration with command vgcfgbackup（備份命令建立一個LVM配置）:
# vgcfgbackup -d -v VolGroup00 --file /tmp/VolGroup00.bak;
********************************************************************************
如下是本次的搶救文件內容，因為搶救系統本身也使用LVM，所以需要手工修改部分名稱。
********************************************************************************
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
VolGroup01 {
id = "SRrnnD-aKdW-bzvR-4YHU-LaEb-ZDuU-B7njtu"
seqno = 2
status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"]
flags = []
extent_size = 65536
max_lv = 0
max_pv = 0
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "WX8RyD-cDou-FZFb-WC6I-YV3d-XiyF-AyfYRL"
device = "/dev/hdb1"status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 60050907
pe_start = 384
pe_count = 916
}

device = "/dev/hdc1"status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]

}
}
logical_volumes {

id = "ZcJbUU-eXv3-Lmkd-2qX2-83UN-rbxP-j2ehlE"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
flags = []
segment_count = 2
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 1221
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv1", 0
]
}
segment2 {
start_extent = 1221
extent_count = 900
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 0
]
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
注：以上將卷組改名為VolGroup01，物理卷的設備路徑也要相應修改；
================================================================================
(3) Recover恢復數據
================================================================================
Backup current LVM configuration(備份當前系統的LVM配置):
vgcfgbackup -d -v VolGroup00 --file /tmp/VolGroup00.bak;
Restore old LVM configuration from /tmp/VolGroup01.save(從搶救文件中恢復配置);
# vgcfgrestore --file /tmp/VolGroup01.save VolGroup01;
********************************************************************************
如有需要，請參考vgcfgrestore命令的說明：
********************************************************************************
# lvm help vgcfgrestore

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
將所恢復的LVM邏輯卷掛載，然後復制數據：
# mkdir /mnt/vgtmp
# mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 /mnt/vgtmp
（成功復制數據之後，搶救任務完成）
