Can we recover data from SAN Based mount point even after deleting PV , VG and LV on Linux OS?
by peterdin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CC3R)
Dear All,
I have one question:
So now can we recover the data which is previously present on that mount point?
I have checked the same thing can be achieved on Solaris and AIX OS by doing export and import operation.(In such scenarios data can be recoverd on Solaris and AIX OS successfully)
Thanks.


I have one question:
- We have assigned one storage disk (LUN) and mapped the LUN to Linux OS
- Then we created mount point on Linux OS, created PV , VG and LV
- Then we copied same data on mount point.
- Now the data is actually on Storage disk/LUN.
- Then we deleted PV , VG and LV on Linux OS, but Storage disk/LUN is still mapped to Linux OS.
- We can also see that LUN is 96% used on Storage level.
So now can we recover the data which is previously present on that mount point?
