Hi
On a Suse entreprise server , after update the LVM is not visible in the libvirt manager
commande pvscan give that
PV /dev/sda3 VG XSLocalEXT-1cd2eec0-d9ab-c8b4-64f5-08a6f99e3633 lvm2 [396.25 GiB / 396.25 GiB free]
Total: 1 [396.25 GiB] / in use: 1 [396.25 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
command lvs return nothing
I have try and vgchange without success
and commande e2fsck said i have bad block , but it is normal , this is not a partition with ext4
linux-udsf:~ # e2fsck /dev/sda3
e2fsck 1.42.11 (09-Jul-2014)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda3
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
You are probably at the wrong forum. If this is an issue with SuSE Enterprise, then you should be at “forums.suse.com”.
Your “pvscan” seems to show that no volumes have been created within your physical volume. And since “lvs” lists the volumes, it is not surprising that it does not list any.
Doing “fsck” on an LVM partition was just a mistake.
That may be true, but we here have no feeling with what you run as OS. We have no idea what the update you mention did, etc, etc. having the same environment (including OS) helps enourmous when one tries to understand a problem, or when one tries to recreate it on ones own system, etc. Many here will not even start trying to help in such a case and spend there spare free time on more promising problems.
In its broadest sense,
If the issue is very fundamental there probably is no difference
But SUSE and openSUSE use different versions and particularly if an issue might be related to an update then the problem becomes specific to that OS and is no longer a general issue.
It’s also important that if an issue appears, that the right eyeballs are on the issue, if it’s not noticed by the right people then it’s less likely that the problem would be addressed quickly.
