Hi,

I can see all drives :
# lvmdiskscan
lvmdiskscan -- reading all disks / partitions (this may take a while...)
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda1 [      70.57 MB] Primary  LINUX native partition [0x83]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda2 [      19.07 GB] DOS extended partition [0x05]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda5 [       2.01 GB] Extended LINUX native partition [0x83]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda6 [       1.00 GB] Extended LINUX native partition [0x83]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda7 [       1.00 GB] Extended LINUX native partition [0x83]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda8 [     517.69 MB] Extended LINUX native partition [0x83]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hda9 [      14.55 GB] Extended LINUX native partition [0x83]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hdc1 [      57.27 GB] Primary  LVM partition [0x8E]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hdd1 [      57.27 GB] Primary  LVM partition [0x8E]

lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hdg1 [      57.27 GB] Primary  LVM partition [0x8E]
lvmdiskscan -- /dev/hdh1 [      57.27 GB] Primary  LVM partition [0x8E]
lvmdiskscan -- 7 disks
lvmdiskscan -- 0 whole disks
lvmdiskscan -- 0 loop devices
lvmdiskscan -- 0 multiple devices
lvmdiskscan -- 0 network block devices
lvmdiskscan -- 13 partitions
lvmdiskscan -- 6 LVM physical volume partitions

I can see volume group "lvm2" but not "lvm1" 
# vgscan
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- found active volume group "lvm2"
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group

I can display lvm2 info
# vgdisplay lvm2
--- Volume group ---

but, not lvm1 info !
# vgdisplay lvm1
vgdisplay -- volume group "lvm1" not found

So, What do I do?

Thanks,
