Hi Zac, > > Any way to recover the LVs of the old volume group?

The reason for this was that all hints and todos I found had the wrong syntax (maybe old lvm-version ...). The manpage of vgcfgrestore does not tell anything helpful. In the meantime I found the right syntax and with a little trying and stumbling I managed to get access to the important LVs on both disks. Most of my important data is available - only one filesystem was badly corrupted. Maybe a 'reiserfsck --rebuild-tree' helps (runs at the moment). So my problem seems to be solved - thanks.
