<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a major Problem. First my initial
situation:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Fedora Core 3 System with one harddrive an
the standard LVm Settings on it. Then the disk was full an I added a second
harddrive and included it in the Volume Group. But I never enhanced the
filesystem. So the second Harddisk was always empty. Then I set up a new System
an put the empty HD from the old System in it. But I forget to remove the Disk
from the VG of the old System. Now the old system doesn't boot up because the
second hard drive is missing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What are my possibillities to get the Data from
this Harddisk back? At the Moment I have this disk in a system where the system
is on a standard ext3 filesystem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please help me because the data on the disk is very
important..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With best regards..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now a few outputs:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
