I tried "vgscan" and i have the output: invalidate :dirty buffer invalidate :busy buffer (any time) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "7etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: this programm doe not do a VGDA backup of your group after i do : vgchange -ay and the output was: vgchange -- no volume group found so i made the restore: vgcfgrestore ......... the ouptput was vgcfgrestore -- VGDA for "Volume1" successfully restored to phisical volume "/dev/i2o/hda3" vgcfgrestore -- you may not have an actual backup of restored group "volume1" then i can do vgchange -ay and go on This is all , was it the matter?
