Hi! As no one seems to answer my previous post, I will try to solve my problem by recreating the metadata. Therefore I need to know the size and location of the lvm-metadata of a physical volume: Is it located at the beginning af a disk (the whole disk is a physical volume) or also at the end? Overwriting the metadata should be done with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=??? (how big is the metadata? I don't want to overwrite portions of the data part of a physical volume) Any help?
