> With the Gentoo live CD I did then install gentoo linux to the old harddrive.
> The gentoo installer did delete the partitiontable on all connected harddrives :-(
> So my logicalvolumes are not available anymore.
> But vgchange shows that lv_old_system is somehow still available. Can you help me please, to recover that volume?
> As I did create the logical volume with the old SuSE 8 installation, which I did overwrite with the gentoo installation, I do not have the metadata backup in /etc :-(
