Hi there, i've got a really big problem. My VG "storage" consists of two PVs: /dev/hdc (120GB full) and /dev/hde (160GB, 40 GB free). Now /dev/hde was destroyed by"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/diskname bs=1k count=1" I did these steps until now: 1.) copy back my old files: /etc/lvmconf/ /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.d/ 2.) take a new hdd (same type and size as my old /dev/hde) 3.) pvcreate /dev/hde 4.) vgcfgrestore -f /etc/lvmconf/storage.conf -n storage /dev/hde ===> This gave me following error: vgcfgrestore -- ERROR "vg_cfgrestore(): pv_check_consistency" restoring volume group "storage" So just replacing the old disk doesn't work for me. I gave it up. But there are still 120GB of data on /dev/hdc, is there any way I can rescue this data? It hurts enough to lose 100GB, but I couldn't take it to lose another 120GB! I hope anybody can help me out here!
