Thanks! I did a pvcreate --restorefile thefile --uuid theuuid mygroup and then vgcfgrestore thefile. Now the logical volumes appear in /dev/mygroup/, but when I try to mount them I get the error "mount: special device /mount/mygroup/myvol does not exist" I googled for an answer but I couldn't find anything relevant. Any ideas? Thanks!
