LVM1 didn't have UUIDs on LVs, that's why. Can you access the VG from the rescue disk and access your data alright ? > > How can I recover the system? If the disk's intact, and you better prove that by running access tests on /dev/sda from your rescue disk, you have to restore the metadata from backup using pvcreate+vgcfgrestore.
