However the partition is fine and fit so I should be able to dd=20 everything off of it. The output of gpart was the following: root@enterprise:~# gpart -w hmlvm,1.5 /dev/hde Begin scan... Possible partition(ReiserFS filesystem), size(50431mb), offset(14mb) * Warning: short read near sector(120103011), 64512 bytes instead of=20 66048. Skipp ing... End scan. Checking partitions... Partition(Linux ext2 filesystem): primary Ok. Guessed primary partition table: Primary partition(1) type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem) size: 50431mb #s(103284656) s(29799-103314454) chs: (29/9/1)-(1023/15/63)d (29/9/1)-(102494/7/62)r Primary partition(2) type: 000(0x00)(unused) size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0) chs: (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r part 3 and 4 where 'unused'. Now gpart found something, however not the missing LVM PV i was hoping.=20 Or atleast, I don't think so. I will google around to see how to make a=20 1 on 1 copy of this disk, and then try to write it. I'll report back. In=20 the mean time, keep those ideas comming : ) Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh) wrote: > Le 02.03.2005 20:08:11, oliver a =EF=BF=BDcrit : > >> I do have an empty 120GB hdd available to dump the entire contence =20 >> on.
