Hi, I had a standard Fedora Core 4 installation with the root fs and swap on LVM. I upgraded to Core 5. Everything worked fine. No need to be an LVM guru so far. Then I added a new hard disk to the computer and a partition of this new disk to the root volume. The "new" hard disk then broke down so that I am unable to access the data on the root volume. Now I installed the old, hopefully still working disk in a different computer and booted with Knoppix 5.0.1 to get some of my data back but vgscan -v comes back with nothing at all. fdisk says Disk /dev/hda: 20.5 GB, 20525137920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2495 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 2495 19936665 8e Linux LVM Any suggestions how to recover that volume?
