Many thx for this guide and thx to Mr. John (http://codeworks.gnomedia.com/archives/2005/general/lvm_recovery/#comment-2803) I was able to restore my data in 2 hdd, which is connected to HW-RAID 0 FC6 server I found that both hdd has the same info in the begining of partition. So after boot to knoppix I did this (dd if=/dev/”first/second hdd” of=”VolGroup00 bc=100000 count=1) and some editing in gvim and I get file for vgcfgrestore. After that I run fsck.ext3 -y and as I see most of my data is OK.

THX again and sorry for my english.

Jalal, dude you rock! Your instructions saved my team from certain destruction! We were migrating data from a Xiotech SAN to a NetApp filer and something got screwed up along the way. Basically three physical volumes on the Xiotech as a single logical volume migrated to one physical volume on the NetApp - but somehow it kept the original partition information on the new logical volume (this was on a new iSCSi LUN). Anyway, our admin had decided to remove this volume from a volume group as there were some issues booting and it lost the volume information for the new logical volume.

Well, I read up on LVM for about an hour and a half and it dawned on me that the data should still be on the original physical volumes on the Xiotech SAN - and all I would need to do is roll back to the config before the migration. Thanks to your instructions this process became a lot easier and I had it back and running within an hour.

We have a research operation (drug discovery) which depends on this server too, so you have my thanks for making the process of finding the correct sequence of commands that much easier.

Muchos Gracias Amigo!
