Hi all, as you can see below I can't no more access my samba server because my lvm jlm_photos is "question marked". I have no idea of the origin of the problem except that I removed the system disk to try an other one and then go back to the original system disk.
Is there a way to recover without resetting the content of sda3? Thanks id advance.

post your fstab

the issue is, like its written, you have multiple vg with the same name
rename one "pve" in "pve1" or whatever name you desire
 
Thanks for your answer.
I renamed pve in pve1 as you proposed using the following set of commands:
Code: 
sed -i 's/pve/pve1/g' /etc/hostname
sed -i 's/pve/pve1/g' /etc/hosts
hostnamectl set-hostname pve1
systemctl restart pveproxy
systemctl restart pvedaemon
mv /etc/pve/nodes/pve/lxc/* /etc/pve/nodes/pve1/lxc
mv /etc/pve/nodes/pve/qemu-server/* /etc/pve/nodes/pve1/qemu-server
rm -r /etc/pve/nodes/pve
reboot
and here is the final result...
1686737459347.png
and vgdisplay command still refers to pve...

/dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
 
There's the command vgrename with an example:

Rename the VG with the specified UUID to "myvg".
vgrename Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 myvg
Click to expand...

You've duplicated VG names in the metadata, I doubt that your applied commands will solve your issue. Maybe it's "better" to revert your changes from 'pve1' back to 'pve' since it's the default name and afterwards change the VG name of your non-system disk to something different with the mentioned command vgrename.

Name of VGs are unrelated to the name of the node - you need to rename one of the VGs.


You need to be careful to not rename the one that contains your root fs - otherwise your node will not be able to reboot.

Can you post the output of lvdisplay ?

what wonders me is why you have swap and root douple and data one time (it would just make sense if you have a raid1 configured / software level) / strage

Your config vgname mismatches with the actual vgname.

Code: 
vgrename pvedata jlm_photos

should solve the issue.

Strange that there's no trace from the logical volume 'vm-101-disk-0'.

Code: 
lsblk
lvs
lvscan

should list them if they are existing. Maybe you accidentally attachted a wrong disk or overwrote your original setup?
