I tried "vgscan" and i have the output: invalidate :dirty buffer=20 invalidate :busy buffer =20 (any time) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "7etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created=20 vgscan -- WARNING: this programm doe not do a VGDA backup of your group after i do : vgchange -ay=20 and the output was: vgchange -- no volume group found=20 so i made the restore: vgcfgrestore ......... the ouptput was=20 vgcfgrestore -- VGDA for "Volume1" successfully restored to phisical volu= me=20 "/dev/i2o/hda3"=20 vgcfgrestore -- you may not have an actual backup of restored group "vol= ume1" then i can do vgchange -ay and go on=20 This is all , was it the matter? Thank you
