Help! :) I think I messed up my VG trying to recover it... :( this is what I did. First, I believe grub erased the first sector of a whole-disk PV (/dev/hde). luckily I had a lvm1 backup in /etc/lvmconf. Using (lvm1's) pvcreate and vgcfgrestore I managed to get my VG back online. Good. Then I wanted to move the data from the PV on /dev/hde to a new PV, so I created a new PV (/dev/hdf3) and used vgextend to extend the VG. Without thinking I rebooted the computer and worse: I managed to overwrite that first sectore of /dev/hde again! This time I don't have any backups of the new configuration (still have the old ones), but I didn't move the PV or resized the fs on the vg. I removed the newly added VG and using vgcfgrestore to recover the metadata on /dev/hde. but now vgdisplay tells me VG data differs between PVs /dev/hde and /dev/hdf3 Volume group "datavg" doesn't exist Any ideas on how to proceed next are highly appreciated...
