I have a disk that used to contain a valid physical volume (pv), volume group (vg), and 3 logical volumes (lv). The disk is intact, but cannot be started by lvm. Is there a way (via 'dd' or some other fashion) to copy the data off of this disk and on to another volume such that I can recover the files? I have other disks available, but don't know how to get the data off in a form that I will be able to read later. Thanks for your help, --dave; _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
