Is there a way to still restore the remaining VG?-o Sounds like the backup would need to be modified. The physical extents that were in the dead device would need to be either removed from the VG or allocated from another device? -- _____________________________________________________________________ / __// /__ ____ __ Erkki Sepp�l�\ \ / /_ / // // /\ \/ //ircnet Modeemi Ry\ / /_/ /_/ \___/ /_/\_\@modeemi.fi http://www.modeemi.fi/~flux/
