Also, can you provide output from lvmdiskscan ? <div class="gmail_quote">2008/1/20 J Lindsay <<a href="mailto:lindsay.james@gmail.com">lindsay.james@gmail.com</a>>: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, I recently had a hardware failure on my OS disk, which means I lost all files including /etc/lvm/archive. My LVM2 volume spans 3 disks, all of which are intact. How do I go about recreating this volume, without knowing the UUID's of the disks. I tried running uuid_fixer but was given the error "pv_read(): pv_flush". Running lvscan and pvscan returns no results.
