If you machine dies and your backups are
"inadequate", you may want to try and recover the disc by putting it
into another system. How? If you didn't back up a bunch of magic
information from the original system's /etc directory, you're well and
truly screwed.
Or you could run vgscan, provided everything is not auto-detected before
you get the chance.
if I remember correctly, and it has been quite a while, vgscan only works if
your lvm.conf is intact. Merging one lvm.conf with one from another machine is
tricky and is not always successful unless you are living with LVM and then it
is only mostly successful. if you don't have your original lvm.conf, again if
memory serves, you need to go rooting through the first fewsectors of your disk
to find what looks like it might be perhaps, possibly the data you need.
in looking for examples for this kind of recovery process, I came across a
rather nice page from our friends at Novell.
