Sender: linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com Errors-To: linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com Reply-To: linux-lvm@sistina.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Tue Nov 25 08:03:02 2003 List-Id: To: linux-lvm@sistina.com --=-Omv7OPFV59BnNQnK9Z51 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Yes, in a most stupid error, I trashed my partition table, but I know the disk was partitioned into 3 partitions as follows: /dev/hda1:/boot with ext2/3 on it /dev/hda2:swap /dev/hda3:lvm PV with ext3 on it Where th partition boundaries are, I am not sure. :-( While I may have lost /boot I am hopeful the destructive operation did not get to /dev/hda3, which had the only PV on the system. I am hoping somebody can suggest a tool/operation to try to recover at least enough of a partition table to try to get /dev/hda3 (and hda1 and hda2 if possible. bit hda3 is most important) back in order, get the VG up and get the data off it. Any ideas at all on how to proceed? Just for reference in versions of filesystems, LVM, etc. this was a Debian Woody system. b. --=20 My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J.
