Remember to set the type of the partition correctly (8e - > Linux LVM). Yes, absolutely. I thought about it. Both harddisks are ok. Only the PT of the second disk must be destroyed. The best: there weren't any partitions on it, I just createt a LVM-PV and then created an ext3 filesystem. I think all the data should be there, but I don't know how to repair it. On the second disk I created a new VG called "Backup" (thinking it was another disk). What I have to do is: Get the old PT with the old LVM informations on it back. But how? I am an absolute LVM-Newbie. This information should not be more than some bytes, right? Anyone any ideas here? _______________________________________________ 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/
