If it's anything like commercial (Veritas, Sun) volume managers and the partitioning information isn't preserved somewhere other than on the failed disk you can't recover it. And if no one bothered to record the physical disk allocations offline, you're really screwed because you can't just allocate the same sector counts and hope. Note that I've never tried to use (either; I note you don't say which of the, to my knowledge, two pieces of software running by that name nor what version of it you're using) LVM, so that's all just an educated guess. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
