Hi, I made a huge mistake last night. I was repartitioning drives in my system using fdisk. I accidentally fdisk the wrong drive, rebooted, and lost my lvm2. In light of this error, I did a dd from the original disk to another disk of the exact same geometry before I started trying to recover the original. Here is what I did to try and recover. Disk 300GB 1 partition of type 8e /dev/sdc1 It had a single volume group on the pv which was /dev/sdc1 I tried recreating the PV using the archive file, that failed. I forced the creation of the PV on /dev/sdc1 with the uuid from the archive file, that succeeded. I then ran: vgcfgrestore -n vg-storage -t -v -f /etc/lvm/backup/vg-storage vg-storage This worked and restored my two logical volumes. I then activated the volumes running vgchange -ay. Now I cannot mount the volumes. The two volumes had reiserfs, mount will not mount them, a dmesg shows this error. ReiserFS: dm-6: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on dm-6 Running reiserfsck does nothing, it just returns immediately with no output. I tried rebuilding the super block, the tree, everything. It seems like reiserfsck cannot find anything. Is there anything else I can do, I really need this data?
