Problems with LVM

Hi

I had a lvm-array with 3 disks � 120gb. One failed and then I could not bring the array online. I had one partition spanning the whole array. Finaly I tried vgreduce --removemissing, this got rid of the errors, but unfortunatly it now seems that the whole lvm-array of the two remaing disks is unallocated. My problem is that I would like to get the data of the two remaining disks. Is there any way of doing this or did I !@"#� up when i did vgreduce --removemissing? I am using reiserfs on the disk.

Thanks
Mattias

vgcfgrestore should undo that operation

You can activate with -P to replace the missing disk with zeros (see 'man lvm').

I've never heard of anyone having much success recovering data from reiserfs in such circumstances.
ext2 is much easier.
