Hi, Could you try using thin_repair v0.9.0 please? The metadata could be repaired if only the superblock was affected.
1. Check the pool configurations (transaction id, chunk size, pool size, etc.) # lvs -o lv_name,transaction_id,chunk_size,size --units k Taking the following output as an example, the tid is 13, and there are 519936 data blocks (33275904/64). ``` LV TransId Chunk LSize tp1 13 64.00k 33275904.00k ``` 2. Create a blank LV for restoration. Here I use 16192 MB to keep backward compatibility. # lvcreate data1 --size 16192m --name tmeta_bak 3. Activate the metadata in read-only mode # lvchange data1/thin_tmeta -ay -y 4. Repair the metadata, in which the tid, bs, and nr_blocks are values from the first step. # thin_repair -i /dev/mapper/data1-thin_meta -o /dev/mapper/data1-tmeta_bak --transaction-id <tid> --data-block-size <bs> --nr-data-blocks <nr_blocks> 5. Verify the repaired metadata # thin_dump /dev/mapper/data1-tmeta_bak --skip-mappings (10 devices should be listed if thin_repair runs successfully) 6. Swap the pool metadata with the repaired one # lvchange -an data1/thin_meta # lvconvert data1/thin --swapmetadata --poolmetadata data1/tmeta_bak Step 2-6 above could be substituted by a single lvconvert command below, but I would prefer doing these step-by-step. # lvconvert --repair data1/thin --config 'global/thin_repair_options=["--transaction_id", "<tid>", "--data-block-size", "<bs>", "--nr-data-blocks", "<nr_blocks>"]' Ming-Hung Tsai On Tue, Nov 23, 2021 at 3:33 PM pavel olenev <pavel.ole...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello. > I am looking for advice on how to act in such a situation.
