I was reinstalling the O/S when I created a new LVM2 volume group over the existing LVM1 partition. It was named system but was recreated as system2.
vgscan -v gives: Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices Wiping internal cache Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Finding all volume groups Finding volume group "system" Found volume group "system" using metadata type lvm2 Finding volume group "system2" Found volume group "system2" using metadata type lvm1
while vgchange -ay gives: 8 logical volume(s) in volume group "system" now active 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "system2" now active
No logical volumes were recreated and hence were not formatted. Is there any way to recover these or do I have to resort to a disk editor.
