Hello! I have a volumegroup with name vg01 (sda1,sda2) since long time wich hold all my userdata. Since yesterday my OS cant find this vg anymore. I remember the last thing was i did add hda9 to vg01. I did this while installing Mandrake9.0 for testing. I couldnt find a error from LVM but vgscan fails to find my vg. Laterly i created a second Volumegroup with name vg (hda9) but vg01 still not working. I also did a vgcfgrestore of vg01 from a 2 weeks old backup but it changes nothing. It would be hard for me if i loose my data. Can someone please help me?
