Hello sluggers....
Anyone real knowledgeable about LVM that might be able to lend a hand?
I had an old Virtual Machine that had two virtual disks. I was trying
to access the first disk from a new Virtual machine but the problem was
that the volume group on the old VM was VolGroup00 which is the same
name as the primary disk of the new VM. So for some reason I had it in
my head that changing the volume group wouldn't affect the physical
volume in the group. And perhaps if I had used vgrename VolGroup00
VolGroup01 from knoppix instead of vgcreate VolGroup01 /dev/sdb2 it
might not have lost the data. But as you know by now I used vgcreate.
As far as I can tell it is impossible to access the physical volume in
that group now.
Am I correct in this assumption? I'd really like to get what was on
that volume... I have subsequently tried to mount the second disk and
it says that its volume group is incomplete so the second disk must have
been added to VolGroup00 in the old VM as well.
