After spending hours trying to figure out what values to put where, all
the data seems to be reconstructed. I ran a reiserfsck on all partitions
and everything was Okay.
I'm stuck however with the PV# and Cur LV reported by pvdata. I kinda
'guessed' them. The PV# was easyer to guess I think, as PV#'s apear to
be unique. (comparing between my two LVM setups they both where, with
the exception of the missing PV# of course). However the Cur LV i wans't
sure what to put there. I now used a Unique identifier for it. E.g. On
the other two it said 1 resp. 3 so I took 2 for my missing one. The rest
I just copied the values from the other two PV structures. The PV Size I
did some math on, Total - 2others, converted to hex, swapped bytes and
put in same location as the other two had them. The other 'size' looking
element was coincidently PV Size+1, so i did that also.
Also it appears to me that in lvm2 that doesn't even matter anyhow.
Anyway, If any of you have any clue what the PV# and Cur LV are, please,
let me know.
I hope this post will help someone out there reading some archives some
time : )
