Hello, After replacing a disc in my raid10 system (ubuntu 12.04), my volume group (that contained all my data and my system) was gone. Problem description is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2128504 I managed to retrieve the metadata of the volume group and the logical volumes underneath, but I did not succeed using vgcfgrestore successfully in order to regain access to my data. It seems I might have to try dmsetup, but I am afraid I might destroy my data if I use it. I have no experience with that program. If any of you has any idea or any experience with restoring lvm volumes or using dsetup, please help me! _______________________________________________ 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/
