My volumes have disappeared. can anyone help recover? setup: I have two drives partitioned identically so that they can be mirrored. each drive has a boot, swap, and a very large lvm partition. We had a problem with the root partition on the first drive, so we decided to restore from the mirror using dd. After doing this, the VGs are not in existence anymore. running 'vgscan' shows it creates /etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtab.d correctly, but they are empty. Is there a way to recreate this information? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
