I have had lvm running on a mandrake 8.1 system. When I upgraded it to cooker (pre 8.2) it did not read my lvm properly (I had /usr, /var and /home pv's in the "mandrake" vg. Now it still has the lvmconf file mandrake.conf but nothing in /etc/lvmtab.d and /etc/lvmtab is a 1 kb file. Since this is a home system, I have no backups...but it still has info I would like to keep. Is there a way to rebuild this? I am pretty new to lvm. I am running lvm-0.9-3mdk. I have lvm running on a fresh install of cooker on my laptop so I know this version works. I still have /dev/hda3 showing as a lvm partion (8e) mandrake had set them up originally as /dev/mandrake/1 /dev/mandrake/2 /dev/mandrake/3 /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 / reiserfs notail 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/mandrake/1 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdg /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0$ /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,exec,codepage=850,noaut$none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/mandrake/2 /usr reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/mandrake/3 /var reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 I had to setup /dev/hda2 as swap to enable the cooker upgrade since it did not recognize /dev/hda5 during the install. It still does not recognize /dev/hda5 ===== SI Reasoning sczjd@yahoo.com "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
