<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Stuart, no
offence can be taken ar all - I cam see two possibilities - u did smth
very stupid or its a glitch. <br>
I actually selected "shutdown" option in kde.<br>
<br>
I cant say that fsck fixed - it reported a short read. I got completely
shocked and just for the hell of it ran la just to observe that.
Everything is "back".<br>

You mentioned something about extended partitions?</div>

If sdb1 had been the extended partition, then it overlaps both sdb5 and
sdb6, so that building a PV/filesystem on sdb5 would overwrite the
existing filesystem on sdb1. That would have come under the "very
stupid" category. (I.e. don't try to add sdb2 as a PV! Does EL5
prevent this somehow? I don't have anything expendable attached to
test on...)<br>
