drive failure

[James Sim]

we have vg00 mounted on two drives, drive1(the original drive) and drive2(later added this for more space). Yesterday we lost drive2 and the system wouldn't respond to any telnets. So I rebooted the machine and everything came back fine except that /tmp was gone. That's fine because I can recreate that, but is there a way to determine if I lost other directories. When I compare /etc/fstab with bdf everything looks fine. But is it possible that a filesystem, say /var/, had subdirectories on drive2?

Thanks.

James.

First do a vgdisplay -v /dev/vg00 and see if any LVOLS report stale. If not then you are fine. If you see any stale LVOL's then "lvdisplay -d /dev/vg00/lvolXXX" and you will see the stale extents and the physical volume that housed them.

They all come back as "available/syncd". Looks like everything is fine. Thanks.
