7.3. Recovering from LVM Mirror Failure
This section provides an example of recovering from a situation where one leg of an LVM mirrored volume fails because the underlying device for a physical volume goes down and the
mirror_log_fault_policy parameter is set to remove, requiring that you manually rebuild the mirror. For information on setting the mirror_log_fault_policy parameter, see Section 5.4.3.1, “Mirrored Logical Volume Failure Policy”.
When a mirror leg fails, LVM converts the mirrored volume into a linear volume, which continues to operate as before but without the mirrored redundancy. At that point, you can add a new disk device to the system to use as a replacement physical device and rebuild the mirror.
The following command creates the physical volumes which will be used for the mirror.
# pvcreate /dev/sd[abcdefgh][12]
Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sda2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdb2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdc1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdc2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdd1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdd2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sde1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sde2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdf1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdf2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdg1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdg2" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdh1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdh2" successfully created
The following commands creates the volume group
vg and the mirrored volume groupfs.
#vgcreate vg /dev/sd[abcdefgh][12]Volume group "vg" successfully created [root@link-08 ~]#lvcreate -L 750M -n groupfs -m 1 vg /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1Rounding up size to full physical extent 752.00 MB Logical volume "groupfs" created
You can use the
lvs command to verify the layout of the mirrored volume and the underlying devices for the mirror leg and the mirror log. Note that in the first example the mirror is not yet completely synced; you should wait until the Copy% field displays 100.00 before continuing.
#lvs -a -o +devicesLV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Devices groupfs vg mwi-a- 752.00M groupfs_mlog 21.28 groupfs_mimage_0(0),groupfs_mimage_1(0) [groupfs_mimage_0] vg iwi-ao 752.00M /dev/sda1(0) [groupfs_mimage_1] vg iwi-ao 752.00M /dev/sdb1(0) [groupfs_mlog] vg lwi-ao 4.00M /dev/sdc1(0) [root@link-08 ~]#lvs -a -o +devicesLV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Devices groupfs vg mwi-a- 752.00M groupfs_mlog 100.00 groupfs_mimage_0(0),groupfs_mimage_1(0) [groupfs_mimage_0] vg iwi-ao 752.00M /dev/sda1(0) [groupfs_mimage_1] vg iwi-ao 752.00M /dev/sdb1(0) [groupfs_mlog] vg lwi-ao 4.00M i /dev/sdc1(0)
In this example, the primary leg of the mirror
/dev/sda1 fails. Any write activity to the mirrored volume causes LVM to detect the failed mirror. When this occurs, LVM converts the mirror into a single linear volume. In this case, to trigger the conversion, we execute a dd command
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/groupfs count=10
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
You can use the
lvs command to verify that the device is now a linear device. Because of the failed disk, I/O errors occur.
# lvs -a -o +devices
/dev/sda1: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/sda2: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error

groupfs vg -wi-a- 752.00M /dev/sdb1(0)
At this point you should still be able to use the logical volume, but there will be no mirror redundancy.
To rebuild the mirrored volume, you replace the broken drive and recreate the physical volume. If you use the same disk rather than replacing it with a new one, you will see "inconsistent" warnings when you run the
pvcreate command. You can prevent that warning from appearing by executing the vgreduce --removemissing command.

Next you extend the original volume group with the new physical volume.

Convert the linear volume back to its original mirrored state.
# lvconvert -m 1 /dev/vg/groupfs /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
Logical volume mirror converted.
You can use the
lvs command to verify that the mirror is restored.
# lvs -a -o +devices
