There was a LVM with VG on two partition-based PVs
My bad, everything following was happening on a mounted filesystem.
I've successfully added the third PV:
pvcreate /dev/sdc2
Successfully extended the VG:
vgextend vgstorage /dev/sdc2
Successfully extended the LV:
lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/vgstorage/lvstorage
There was a power failure one or two hours after extension and after that the filesystem is currupted.
dmesg | grep dm-4
[ 7.705752] EXT4-fs (dm-4): VFS: Found ext4 filesystem with invalid superblock checksum. Run e2fsck?
I've tried:
e2fsck /dev/dm-4
e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
ext2fs_open2: Superblock checksum does not match superblock
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Superblock checksum does not match superblock while trying to open /dev/dm-4
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
Suggested superblocks here didn't work either.

Re: Bad ext4 superblock on LVM after lvextend and power failure
I'm not doing anything with that, as the data loss is much more critical than time to resolve the issue.
Can the advised command do more harm to the data?

Code: Select all

Re: Bad ext4 superblock on LVM after lvextend and power failure
I am missing the experience and detailed knowledge with ext4.
Duplicate your disk(s) before modifying anything including file system checks.

Unfortunately, unable to get another 2*18 + 6 TB drives for that
