Export existing logical volumes

Post by torsknod »

Hello,
since my thin pool accidentally overflowed, I have no access to any logical volume any more and try to recover from that.
Via the console, I already copied over the thin pool metadata and did a lot of other things, but the possibilities are very limited this way.

Is there a way that I can have the block device in device mapper exported as iSCSI LUNs, so I can access them from my PC?

Thanks,
Torsten

We recently had the same question, only way for the ISCSI service to come up again would be to free up the volume. Even then the block storage might have corrupted.

So for these cases, using a current backup would be best.
