Right the problem was that LVM could not find the uuid of "pxI5Im-z5y1-6hLM-HGKV-aN5T-hfRa-TDNEby" Eventually what I did was: # pvcreate /dev/hdb1 -u pxI5Im-z5y1-6hLM-HGKV-aN5T-hfRa-TDNEby I then tried to mount it, but the Reiserfs structure was seriously broken. Even a reiserfsck /dev/software/pool (Yes, the LVM disk, not the /dev/hdb1 disk.) told me that I needed to run it with --rebuild-tree. Ouch... So I've now run: # reiserfsck /dev/software/pool --rebuild-tree This took a long time. After which I could mount the drive and have my first look... A lot has been deleted and damaged. Lost+Found directory is full with stuff... But then again, a lot of other things have been saved as well. Luckily I make BACKUPS! So even though we have lost data, we've only lost two weeks or so. (So again: MAKE BACKUPS!) Thanks everybody for the help. -- M4rk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
