Since the actual device /dev/vg0/logical0 actually gets created is it safe to assume that all LVM metadata is intact and correct and my problem is with the filesystem, not the lower level LVM?
Thanks,

--- Begin Message ---I recently replaced a failing drive in my lvm1 volume group by doing a dd from the bad drive to a new drive. However after a few days I can no longer mount the logical volume. When I try to the mount the volume I get this output:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vg0/logical0, or too many mounted file systems
I have a feeling that the superblock is corrupt.
I tried running vgck, but it seg faults after a point:
vgck -v vgck -- locking logical volume manager vgck -- finding all volume group(s) vgck -- checking volume group name "vg0" vgck -- checking existence of volume group "vg0" vgck -- reading volume group data for "vg0" from lvmtab vgck -- checking volume group consistency of "vg0" in lvmtab vgck -- VGDA of "vg0" in lvmtab is consistent vgck -- reading volume group data for "vg0" from physical volume(s) Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Can anyone help me get this mounted again?
thanks,
Bernard Zolp
