Murrell @ 2009-09-23 14:15 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-lvm [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 349 bytes --] I can't believe what I just did, but I just accidentally removed an LV. I have done nothing to the disk since doing this however. Is there any hope at all at restoring it? Fortunately it has never been resized at all so should at least be contiguous on the disk, somewhere. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. Thanx! b.

This did the trick. Thanx Alasdair! I have never had occasion to use vgcfgrestore prior to this fubar but it worked like a charm. Again, many, many, thanx! I owe you at least one beer. You saved a lot of data. b.
