If it was second disk, it can be without partition table, lvm does not require it. Never try to recover something when you are not sure if it was there ;-) You can easily check - in guest, go to the /etc/lvm directory, there should be metadata backups. Chekck them, there should be comment which disk was there. Can you paste some old metadata (_correct_ metadata, before disk disappeared) to pastebin and send a link to it? Or directly to mail. run "blkid -p <disk>" on it - what it reports? > I tried a tool know I know of called "testdisk," which attempts to > recover partition tables, and it wasn't able to help. Odd. Why? These tries can do more damages. Maybe someone just installed e.g. grub there - this is fully recoverable still. Paste that metadata above, we will see.
