Hi, only wanted to notify everyone, that I could now solve my problem with hexedit and lvm.h. I changed the Major/Minor Numbers in both hdXX and then looked at the VG Data, I found that the one in hdc2 seemed OK, while the one in hda7 looked like random Data was written in it. So I copied the VG Metadata into hda7 using dd. A vgscan marked lvtmp as problematic, it was in hda7 but in the vgmetadata were only 3 LV's, so I changed that and threw out the LV Metadata of that particular lv. It is also the one I was deleting when the hardware error occured. Now I can read my data again.
