There's no way to use it in a new created VG. But you can restore the VG metadata (VGDA) of the disapeared disk(s) using vgcfgrestore(8) in order to make use of the available data. Please remember that in case you had eg. filesystem data in LVs on the dead disk(s), you can't make use of it any longer. > > > thank you guys for your support, > > andreas behler -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM guy -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Heinz Mauelshagen Sistina Software Inc.
