I had a disk which disappeared:

# df -h
Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
.
.
/dev/mapper/vg1-osblv02       5.0T   61G  4.7T   2% /data/osb-pool-1
/dev/mapper/vg01-osblv01      1.8T   45G  1.7T   3% /data/osb-pool-0
 .
 .

but after I did a force umount on dev/mapper/vg1-osblv02 and rebooted I could not see it any longer:


# df -h
Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
 .
 .
 .
#

so after reboot I can not see it some more information on this:

After reboot:

when I checked the /etc/fstab I got this:

Can you manually mount the filesystems? Add the contents of `/etc/fstab` to your question.

@NasirRiley how would i go about doing that help please

kunz

12/31/22, 12:35 AM

@NasirRiley i updated my question with the fstab content

Nasir Riley

Use the command `mount -a` and add the output to the question.

@NasirRiley i get this error `mount: special device /dev/mapper/vg1-osblv02 does not exist`

Nasir Riley

I should have asked this before, but add the output of `pvs`, `vgs`, and `lvs` to your question.

kunz

12/31/22, 2:25 AM

@NasirRiley i have added the output

It looks like you've lost some block devices. Did you use some non-persistent volumes? iscsi, etc?

@GeorgeShuklin i am not sure its a pre build machine and am just a new person working on it :( sadly am lost

Basically, there are two options: 1) There is no disk inside VM (because it was ephimerial, or is not automatically attached to VM at start) 2) `pvscan` can't find a local pv. I'd start from inventorizing all block devices on server to see if there are any unused. If not, I'd go to virt guys for help/logs/etc.

What happened to your disks sda and sdb?

sdb disappeared - your problem is way deeper than filesystem or lvm. Check `dmesg` for errors. Also if this is some kind of a VM the disk may have been ephemeral as George said so your best bet is to go check the host whether the backing device/image is still there.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
