Yesterday I krashed my lvm. This is the first time I'm having real problems with it. This is what happened. I was going to add a new lv and used the lvcreate-command as usual.=20 This time I forgot the -n switch and when I realized that I hit ctrl-c.. BAD idea! Now my vg is gone. I can't get it back whatever I try. Any help would be VERY appreciated. A vgscan just sais "no volume groups found" or something like that.=20 doing a pvdisplay on the pv's in my vg gives me that they should be in "diskvg" (which is correct). I've tried doing vgcfgrestore from the backups in /etc/lvmconf but that doesn't help. vgscan still doesn't find it. I looked at the HOWTO and found a program named uuid_fixer that looked like it could solve the problem but it died with an "illegal instruction" regardless of if I used the precompiled version or compiled it myself. This is on a mandrake 8.1-box with lvm, xfs, reiserfs and devfs so there are alot of things to think about. When doing stuff I did the following first: reboot into single user, remount / rw, mount /proc, restore some standar-stuff into /dev, and start devfsd After that I tried vgcfgrestore, vgscan, uuid_fixer and just about everything I could think or. Please please please help me. Can anyone solve this. There are over 60 GB of stuff on this computer and it needs to work TODAY :( /Erik --=20 Erik B=E5gfors | http://www.ardendo.se/ Erik.Bagfors@ardendo.se | GSM +46 733 279 273 fingerprint: 6666 A85B 95D3 D26B 296B 6C60 4F32 2C0B 693D 6E32
