No, but this was on an otherwise unused disk (not mounted any partitions of that disk etc). Maybe I should have. Can I somehow get at the data of a LV that is completely available, but sits in a VG that is _not_ completely available? then I'd just remove the third disk. I have hda + hdc4 + hdb4. All in vg01. hda+hdc4 contain a LV (home), hdb4 contains a second LV (newhome). On each of the LVs is a complete set of the data that I need. So I only need one of them... -- mfg, Jens Benecke QOTD: The Internet is not a network of machines. It's a network of PEOPLE.
