Hello all,
I have a computer running Debian which I had some partitions under
LVM. Mostly my Home and Work folder. After a power loss my lvm
stopped working and I can't seen to find a way to recover data. I've
tried lots of FAQs, tutorials, etc. Nothing seens to work.
Here is what it looks like:
:~# uname -a
Linux freemmg 2.4.25-1-386 #2 Wed Apr 14 19:38:08 EST 2004 i686 GNU/
Linux

vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your
volume group
:~#
Ok, what I tried to do:
:~# pvcreate -ff /dev/hda3
pvcreate -- WARNING: forcing physical volume creation on "/dev/hda3"
pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hda3" successfully created
:~#
:~# pvscan

No idea why it wont work.

So, any ideas? Any help would be apreciated.
