LVM - mounting a disk against it's will

[Matti_Kurkela]

By my experience, if the diskinfo command reports the disk size as "0 Kbytes", that usually means the disk is dead.

When the disk's internal self-test fails, the disk will, depending on the exact disk model, either completely drop out of the SCSI bus or otherwise indicate a failure. The indication of "size: 0 Kbytes" would certainly be one way to indicate the disk is not usable any more.

Here is the insf output. The drive in question is highlighted.

And finally, here is the result of moving the lvmtab and doing 'vgscan -v'.

There's no vg02 in the lvmtab... :)
