Thread: Broken LVM after gparted renamed partitions that were PVs


hello,

harddisk had 1 extended partition, sda2, split several logical partitions: sda6,sda5,sda7,sda8,sda9 in order. sda6,sda8,sda9 [the only] pvs in 1 [and only] volume group.

tried delete sda7 , resize sda5 (both unrelated lvm setup) take freed space. entered both changes in gparted , clicked 'apply'. gave error, had apparently deleted sda7, without resizing sda5. tried resize sda5 again, again gave error again, sda5 resized. did not save logs gparted. saw partition names had changed sda8,sda5,sda6,sda7, in order.

when run 'vgdisplay', error "couldn't find device uuid ....". running 'blkid' gives uuids of sda5,sda7,sda9. according gparted , fdisk, sda9 not exist. also, according blkid, uuid of sda7 used uuid of sda8. confused.

expect, don't have backups, so... help! (i creating copy of whole disk, in case things go more wrong)

bump

edit: i'm writing after post below - there no point bumping thread again. problem gone, have no idea how or why. 1 reboot didn't change anything, after 2nd reboot fdisk , blkid agree on new partition names, , lvm works fine.
