Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what to do to accomplish this, or if I can even do it. I created them with Disk Druid on FC3 a couple of years ago and pretty much hadn't touched the machine at all since then. When I "upgraded" to FC5 a couple of weeks ago, I unchecked all the boxes for the data drives (hdb, hdd, hde, hdf and hdg) so they should have been set to "do not format, keep existing data" but I can't remember exactly what I did with hda (which was also part of the array - at least some of it). The box has been sitting in the corner for a month or so while I try to figure out if it's salvageable. I have not done anything with it since FC5 was loaded, except attempt to attach the Physical Volumes to the LVM using the LVM Management GUI. So I'm not sure what you mean by "restore the LV's back" or how I would go about doing it. I *may* have destroyed part of the array by reinstalling the OS on /dev/hda...although I'm not sure how it was set up in the first place. If this is the case though, is the data that was on the other physical volumes still actually accessible in some way? At this point I'm ready to start over, but not before I've exhausted all my options.
