But then I guess I woke up on the right side of the bed or something... ;-) Lets start at the beginning (you havn't done so yet). 1) please do give us the output of "fdisk -l", this answers does hdb show up, and how is it partitioned. 2) please also include the output of "lvmdiskscan ; pvscan ; pvdisplay", this will tell us if any chunks of lvm data was found. 3) same as 2 for "vgscan ; vgdisplay" but don't bother if 2 didn't find any pvs. 4) same as 3 for "lvscan ; lvdisplay -m" but don't bother if 3 didn't find any vgs. With this info I'm sure you'll get better advice/help. /Peter > sigh - i don't really need lvm; waaaaaaa; i wish that system was using > pre-lvm partitions; i'd be recovered by now > > are there stages for grieving over the loss of a hdd? > > thanks again, > mike
