Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 03/25/2013 04:46 PM, Björn Nadrowski would write: > Recreation of the volume group seemed a good idea as I only had one volume group on the pv and therefore I did not see how this could have destroyed anything. > The (human-readable) data at the beginning of the device /dev/md127 is still there and does display the same information. Please see my posting Recreating the vg overwrites the human-readable data at the beginning of the device. You claim that it is "still there" and is the "same information". But this cannot be true because originally that information had your LV data, and now (apparently) it does not. Do you see your LVs when looking at the vg metadata with an editor?? What do you mean by "displays the same information"? Does lvs list your LVs? _______________________________________________ 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/
