It did not have lvm backups from /etc/lvm/archive/ and I wanted to recover the LVM. I only have two partitions, sda1 and sda2. sda1 is the /boot. sda2 is LVM, with swap and / (the machine runs fedora core 4)with root inside the LVM... now I know that's a bad ideia. The problem is that I don't have any backups of any LVM information and all I know is the size of the partitions inside LVM... Adding 2031608k swap on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:2031608k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 32963596 24207464 8756132 74% / /dev/sda1 101086 56597 39270 60% /boot /dev/shm 1037328 0 1037328 0% /dev/shm can I conceivably recover the data ? how ? regards, miguel dias --------------060405060403020902060009 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="mbd.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mbd.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Miguel Bettencourt de Freitas Dias n:Bettencourt de Freitas Dias;Miguel org;quoted-printable:Netopia, Sistemas de Informa=C3=A7=C3=A3o Global, Lda. adr:;;Apartado 42111;Lisboa;;1601-801 Lisboa;Portugal email;internet:miguel.dias@netopia.pt tel;work:+351917245758 tel;fax:+35166917245758 tel;cell:+351917245758 url:http://www.netopia.pt version:2.1 end:vcard --------------060405060403020902060009--
