Recently, one died so I removed it using. # vgreduce --removemissing Vol1 This worked fine but now I can't mount the volume group: root@nibiru:~# cat /etc/fstab | grep Vol /dev/mapper/Vol1-share /share ext3 defaults 0 2 root@nibiru:~# mount /share mount: special device /dev/mapper/Vol1-share does not exist root@nibiru:~# I've no idea why it says it doesn't exist as I thought all I did was remove missing PE's from a VG - not remove the actual VG! Can anyone help me get my data back? Thanks for any advice. Nick
