Hi all, I have two harddisks, each of 80GB, sda1 and sdb1, sdb1 is added as lvm partition and thus all the data resides in that lvm parition only. It was working fine from some months. Suddenly the system showed the content as readonly content of that lvm partition and when I tried restarting the system, I am not able to find my lvm partition. lvdisplay command is showing output like , No Volume Groups available. fdisk -l command, is showig the partions of the sda1 only and sdb1 its showign a message like, no partition table available for sdb1, and thus its not getting mounted. Could some one please tell me how to recover my data back. How can I reactivate my lvm partition. Awaiting for your reply. Regards Indraveni Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.
