Hi.

I recently reinstalled one of the fileservers here in the office. I used SuSE 7.1, Linux 2.4.16 and LVM 0.9.

While installing, YaST realized that I had several PVs on my system. It asked whether it should add them to a VG. I answered "yes", but unfortunately YaST seems to have reinitialized the PVs and created a new VG.

I still do have the old /etc/lvmconf/*.conf file - is this of any use in restoring the old VG? Is there any way to restore the old PV and VG configuration, or can I wave the data good-bye?

Thanks in advance,
David
