Hi all,

I have a big problem with my LVM, let me explain you it:
I had a lv of a vg, this vg was composed of 2 pv and i had an
ext3 partition on this lvm.
Today i reinstalled my system on a new hard drive and i used the partman
tool of debian, it detected me the 2 disks as lvm, then i simply create
a vg with this 2 disque, and a lv with all the space. After i said: "do
nothing" to put myself the entry to mount it in fstab.
Now i can't mount it, and fdisk don't detect any partition on this drive
Testdisk found nothing too.
I have the old informations about the lvm, is it possible to come back
in the old situation with them (or have you got a better solution ) ?

Thank you very much.

(sorry for my english ^^)
