A pvscan will not show the lost PV, and vgimport tells:
vgimport -- ERROR "pv_read(): PV identifier invalid" reading physical volume "/dev/hde1"
Now, when I try to restore, it should fix the PV in my understanding. But pvscan still does not bring it back. What could I do?
Your help is appreciated, as it would save me a day of work since the last backup :-)
