<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a Fedora Core 6 system with a root volume group (VolGroup00) spanning 2
physical drives. Through my own negligence the first drive got overwritten when
the system was rebooted with a bootable cd in the drive. This effectively
reformated the primary drive but left the second drive intact. What I would
like to do is mount the second drive to see if there is any data worth
retrieving before rebuilding the system. <br>
<br>
I can boot onto a rescue CD so I can access the drive through lvm. lvdisplay
reports that it cannot find all of the physical volumes which makes sense as
the other drive was reformatted. pvscan also reports a missing drive. <br>
<br>
Can anyone give me a pointer on what might be my next step?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Pete <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
