Hi,
i have a serious problem with my LVM (Suse
7.3).
I used to have 2 VGs (ROOT and TAN)
ROOT consisted of /hda1 /hdf1
TAN consisted of /hdh1 /hdg1
There was (hopefully still is) data on both
VG.
Now the problem: I put in a new HD yesterday.
Reboot. No VGs found anymore. All xxscan commands doesnt find any proof of the
VGs. Well, i thought just put the new HD out and everything is ok, but without
the new HD the situation is still the same.
The new HD was put alone on a cable. I didnt
change anything in the system while the new HD was connected.
The system doesnt find a partition on hda now,
dunno why. But everything on VG TAN should work since there is no evidence of
any failure happened to hdg1 or hdh1. The system worked perfect for the last 2
weeks.
Now i dunno what to do anymore, since i dont
want to loose any data on TAN (the root part is not that important). I would
appreciate any help.
Regards
Jim
Situation now:

give it to you.
