[lvm-devel] LVM2 Disk Layout (on-disk data-structures)

[David A. Barrett]

Does anyone know about where I can find
documentation of layout of information for
LVM2 on the disk?

I need to write code to parse the data
directly from the low-level disc image.

I need to do some data recovery operations
on multiple logical volumes in two volume groups
on two physical volumes (each a raid5).

Redhat's fedora 10 installation DVD overwrote
the partition table and a new lvm on every single
accessable device immediately after asking for
my keyboard type (without confirmation).
