This may be the error message but it defies explanation. I still think there is something wrong with the lvm sine it's the one throwing the error and everything else seems normal.: [root@fc11-64 ~]# pvs -v Scanning for physical volume names PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree DevSize PV UUID /dev/sda2 vg_fc1164 lvm2 a- 99.80G 0 99.80G qunnek-OG2y-hp2j-31J8- J3HT-0Aye-3w2rMN /dev/sdb2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 67.91G 20.00G 47.93G eCuGyH-jV7L-Tgdg-JyYW- sWK1-ehZY-OLw0WS [root@fc11-64 ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sdb2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [67.91 GB / 20.00 GB free] PV /dev/sda2 VG vg_fc1164 lvm2 [99.80 GB / 0 free] Total: 2 [167.71 GB] / in use: 2 [167.71 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] Perhaps I just don't know how to interpret the output but it appears to be normal and I don't know what to do next. I'm desperate to recover my old fc9 disk, any suggestions or step by step guides which might point out where I went wrong or what the actual problem might be?
