But I created a logical volume on a new VG (I thought it's just a naming problem and tried to create VG and LV with the same names. Mounting the file system failed and I stopped any 'experimental' actions). So the filesystem should be ok, but the metadata on the PV is somehow damaged. I guess that the job is to force the assignemt of /dev/hdd1 to VG "hxvg01" and to make this VG 'known' to the LVM and activate the PVs. I'm a bit lost know, because I don't know how to 'write back' these information from the hxvg01.conf file to the PVs. Any help would be deeply appreciated. // melle _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
