Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lvm2
During an Ubuntu update the default filter for lvm changed to
filter = [ "a|/dev/sd[bc]|", "r/.*/" ]
from (as far as I can remember)
filter = [ "a|.*|", "r/.*/" ]
(or something to that affect, really accepting every block device as the
above comment in the lvm.conf file states)
This is really silly because it only accepts only /dev/sdb* and /dev/sdc* as
devices for lvm. Ony of my PVs was /dev/sda1.
As a result I was getting errors such as (for you googlers out there):
Couldn't find device with uuid 'WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx-
flP2-obQF07'.
I didn't know what all this meant and nearly went as far as trying
pvcreate --uuid "abc123..." --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/bla
/dev/sda1
This kind of stuff is really difficult to debug for a newbie.
Using Ubuntu 10.04, lvm2 2.02.54-1ubuntu4.
