David, If all that you have destroyed is the partition table, you may be able to simply recover that appropriately, reboot, and vgscan everything back into place. If you still have your partition table intact…if there is more extensive damage, Ray has shared about as detailed instructions as one can find on a mailing list for a class of problem. I wouldn't go about re-creating anything until you've ascertained what has been lost, which is slightly unclear from your mailings. -Ev _______________________________________________ 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/
