Hello, As I already said, my volume group is not accessible because of a crash while trying to extend a logical volume. 'vgscan' says 'only found 768 of 769 LEs for LV /dev/vg00/lvol1' and does not find my volume group. I have not been able to restore the backups with _any_ version of LVM. So now I am wondering if it is possible to change the 'LE' table while the volume group is offline. Is there? -- Julian Glashoff <helldog@gmx.net>
