Hi!
As no one seems to answer my previous post, I will try to solve my problem
by recreating the metadata. Therefore I need to know the size and location
of the lvm-metadata of a physical volume: Is it located at the beginning
af a disk (the whole disk is a physical volume) or also at the end?
Overwriting the metadata should be done with
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=??? (how big is the metadata? I
don't want to overwrite portions of the data part of a physical volume)
Any help?
Regards,
Stephan
