Re: [linux-lvm] vgcfgrestore error !

Igor,

pvdata output looks fine.

Could you send me the metadata for further investigation in private
email, please?

You can retrieve 3 files with the metadata of your PVs by "
for d in /dev/hd[cef]1
do
   dd if=$d of=`basename $d`.lvm bs=1k count=512
done

Regards,
