I've seen plenty of evidence that tools for LVM recovery
are lacking.
I see postings from people asking about recovery of damaged LVM volumes and not getting any reasonable answers about how to repair.
This might help in future. http://anthonydawson.thelasis.com/LVRecovery/index.htm
Or, complexity of dealing with things like duplicate volume group names when physically moving disk drives. Conventional
partitioning
works just fine for me, and I'm confident that I can handle
just about
any situation that crops up. I don't need an additional layer of complexity.
Which is why I do not use default names when creating volgroups and logvols.
I always found it handy to use ASSET#_VG#_YYYYMMDDHHMM as a "default" pattern here.
