Hi all, I had centos 5.9 installed with one of its volumes (non-root) on LVM: ... /dev/vgapps/lvapps /opt/apps ext3 defaults 1 2 ... Then installed centos 6.4 on this servers but without exporting this volume (I wanted to reuse it). After that instead importing it I did: # pvcreate /dev/sddlmac # vgcreate vgapps /dev/sddlmac And then realised that I should have import it instead of pvcreate/vgcreate. Can I restore previous state and data from this volume ? I have files from /etc/lvm/backup (taken before reinstallation) with its old definition. Regards P.
