I have created some new lv's for some tests. What I did was based on this howto: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipethreescsi.html pvcreate /dev/hdk pvcreate /dev/hdi vgcreate vhostvg /dev/hdk /dev/hdi lvcreate -L1G -nvm01lv vhostvg ok and here I thinkg I made a big mistake! since I had no partitions on my disks and I assumed that I needed one so that it matches the LVM that was created by debian automaticaly I created on both disks a partition and changed the type to 8e Linux LVM. I actualy worked with the lv's and everything is ok ( except my speed problem but this is a other topic ) now after a rebbot, I only see the lv created by debian, not the one that I kind of screwed up with my partitioning. Is there a simple way to recover it? It's not that important that I would wast to much time with it, it was just for testing anyway and I could recreate them. regards, Cristian Livadaru -- http://livadaru.net _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
