[linux-lvm] Recover UUID

[linux-lvm] Recover UUID

Hello,
I recently had a hardware failure on my OS disk, which means I lost all
files including /etc/lvm/archive. My LVM2 volume spans 3 disks, all of which
are intact. How do I go about recreating this volume, without knowing the
UUID's of the disks. I tried running uuid_fixer but was given the error
"pv_read(): pv_flush". Running lvscan and pvscan returns no results.

Thanks,
James

This is pretty similar to what happened to me recently.  Hopefully someone
will take the time to help one, or both, of us out.  In the interim can you
do at least a "uname -r" to get your major kernel version and a "lvm" then
"version" within the lvm program to get the LVM version numbers, this can
assist people helping you.

Regards,
Cory

Also, can you provide output from lvmdiskscan ?
