Tool to convert LVM1 vgcfgbackup to readable format?
Hi
is there any tool to convert vgcfgbackup files to a editable format and back?
I still try to fix some broken PE entries.
I think the easiest way to fix these would be to work with the last backup file,
fix them there and then do a vgcfgrestore.

I didn't have a closer look at LVM2 yet .. (Waiting for Heinz's presentation in Sep in Darmstadt)
But I don't think it's save to migrate to LVM2 with a broken LVM1 system.

It's in the list archive somewhere I think, how to use LVM2 userspace tools (no need to install kernel device-mapper) to read/edit/write LVM1 on-disk metadata.
