Hallo,

I had an VG called 'vg01' which contained the only PV /dev/hdc

My problem happened during a system upgrade, where I could have removed the VG from the system or something else happened...

I do have an VDA backup /root/lvmconf/vg01.conf (attatched to this mail)

Is ist possible to recrate or restore the PV metadata? I believe that the data stored on this PV may be still there ...I hope so.

I searched the last two months for an sollution, but found nothing using google, diverse mailing list archives, heise-forum, etc ...

does someone on this list have any tip?

I would be very, very happy if someone could post some hints to try...

# pvcreate /dev/hdc # vgcfgrestore -n vg01 /dev/hdc # vgscan

should restore the VG for you.
