Hi, I've just found out that the reason I couldn't get my lvm volume group to work was because I had accidentally formatted one of the partitions that were used in that group, instead of the partition I actually wanted to format. (I really should have rebooted when fdisk told me to:( ) I've been trying to recover the information that was stored on the volume group. Since the partition was only 1.88Gb big in a volume group of 50Gb I thought maybe all was not lost. What I've tried is running pvcreate on the formatted partition, but vgdisplay complains that that it can't find the partition with the uuid of the lost partition. I then tried hexedit'ing the partition and changing its uuid, but this didn't fool lvm either: i got the same error. Is there any way to bring back, not all, of course, but some of the data in the volume group? Thanks!!
