thank you for your answer. I got various errors ...
The reason for this was that all hints and todos I found had the wrong syntax
(maybe old lvm-version ...). The manpage of vgcfgrestore does not tell
anything helpful.
In the meantime I found the right syntax and with a little trying and
stumbling I managed to get access to the important LVs on both disks. Most of
my important data is available - only one filesystem was badly corrupted.
Maybe a 'reiserfsck --rebuild-tree' helps (runs at the moment).
So my problem seems to be solved - thanks.
Bye
Richard
