data. If the partitions are still there, it will just be a matter of
fixing the LVM. I am not sure, but FC3 may have been LVM v.1 and FC5 is
v.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do a google search for lvm 1 to 2 upgrade.
Also, it is possible to re-form your LVM through manual commands. No guarantee
on getting the data back, but it should be do-able.</FONT></DIV>

upgrading to FC5</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi everyone,<BR><BR>I realize this is only tangentially related
to mythtv, but I haven't gotten any help from the linux-lvm list which seems
pretty quiet.<BR><BR>I have been using LVM for several months to record mythtv
files across a 200GB and 160GB disk (hdb and hdc). <BR><BR>Recently I decided
to upgrade my FC3 install to FC5. After the install, my LVM mount does
not come up. It appeared that all of the LVM information in /dev/ was
gone; however, only the non-LVM drive (/dev/hda) should have been touched by
the FC5 upgrade. <BR><BR>This is my fstab
entry:<BR>/dev/VGforMythTV/video
/var/media
xfs defaults
1 1<BR><BR>This is what fdisk
shows:<BR>/dev/hdb1

8e Linux
LVM<BR><BR>/dev/hdc1
1 19929 160079661
8e Linux LVM <BR><BR>In my attempt to fix this, I think I may have
totally fouled things up; I tried to create a new volume group with the same
name and more PVs for the new drives, then combine them together into an PV
with the old LV name. However, this still does not allow it to
mount. <BR><BR>Any ideas? Have I deleted all my
data?<BR><BR>Thanks for any help,<BR><BR>Argus<BR><BR>I've pasted my history
commands below.<BR><BR> 552 /usr/sbin/pvcreate /dev/hdb1

-- there is no sign of the original data, but I have now created the
VGforMythTV volume group but it only shows my two new logical volumes, but not
the original one with all my data). <BR><BR><BR>
