Do you still see the lv in your pvdisplay or is it gone?

It sounds like something went wrong when SAM tried to remove it. Have you looked at the SAM log? Is there an error message that might give us more to work with?

Wel i salvage the problem self, i restore /dev/vg00/lvDBMS and /dev/vg00/rlvDBMS.
I put the right thing in the /etc/fstab.
So it seems to work

Jos,

This is why I dont use SAM for 99% of my LVM work...

I script or do command line for virtually all my LVM work. I just dont trust SAM that much with my system.

Sure you get some level of double checking and SAM can prevent you from making a stupid mistake... but I believe SAM is more trouble than it is worth for LVM work... SURE it is fine for kernel mods and other things, but NOT for LVM...

You can go look at the SAM log under /var/sam/log/samlog.....

[Todd McDaniel_1]

oops hit enter too soon...

I meant you can go look at the samlog to see what commands were run... if you want to get more familiar with LVM...


no points here...
