Thanks - I thought pvcreate would destroy the data, but it seem only to initialize the PV without overwriting data, right?

Yes, pvcreate only overwrites the PV metadata area of the disk. Any actual data is left intact (assuming it wasn't erased by something else!)

It's pity that I can't check this out, because I already recreated a new LV this morning because of time preasure ;-( Too bad for me...

Ah well, keep this email for next time :^)
