Did you create the array on the Manjaro system or did you migrate it there from Fedora?
|
I never had a 'Manjaro system' until yesterday. I am a 17 year user of Fedora (since FC5) and more recently CentOS. Before I installed Manjaro yesterday I had a Fedora 29, Fedora 28 (now EOL), and Centos 7 triple boot system. I now have a quadruple boot system with one being EOL. This is my first attempt to install anything other than Fedora/CentOS in 17 years of Linux use. Since this is the same computer the term 'migrate' isn't applicable.
I was drawn to try another distribution as RH deprecated KDE and KDE soon stopped working when I 'updated' Centos 7. I like KDE Plasma and wanted to try another distribution where KDE is officially supported. I was drawn to Manjaro specifically by positive comments made on FedoraForum by several people one of whom is a forum moderator.

Has the Manjaro box ever recognized the PV?

Given the above explanation no as my desktop was never a Manjaro box.
I created the array in summer 2016 when I bought two 3TB WD drives, assembled them into a RAID1 mirror and then put LVM on top. The creation went perfectly and it worked immediately. It was all created with Centos 7 but worked perfectly with Fedora 24,28 and now 29. Everything was assembled at boot and the volume group and all of the LVs inside were visible and mountable after boot. Two of the LVs are mounted in my fstab on Fedora and Centos as well the swap partition is on this array to reduce wear on the SSD.
Thank you for your reply. I will try your suggestions.
I now realize that despite what flaws it may have Fedora is quite powerful.
