Do both Volume Groups on those two sets of disks have the same name? VolGroup00
This is all to common an issue. I make a point that all LVMs are uniquely named.
Actually, no. The VolGroup00 name is associated with the running
system. It's the default name when you install CentOS with the default option. The vol group on the other disks
is "vg0" and is the name I used when I created the system several years
ago.
I would have expected that to show as a result of the vgscan and
I would have expected the same after vgchange.
vgchange commands. Does RAID change things wrt LVM appareance to the system?
No.
OK, I have just written off the disks as corrupt. I put in another pair with yet another raid LV on them. This time I was able to successfully mount the data.
Something like this:
After assembling the raid array from the two disks with
mdadm --assemble /dev/md125 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3
[root@mickey ~]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md125 : active raid1 sdc3[0] sdd3[1] 2925020024 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] [=>...................] resync = 8.5% (249426816/2925020024) finish=357.5min speed=124707K/sec
