Thanks vgchange was the answer. -----Original Message----- I have been able to recover them by IPLing a recovery system (a single minidisk system) and then running: vgexport, vgimport and then vgscan (you may need vgchange to inact/act, and vgmknodes if they are not on /dev). At other times I had to run /sbin/fsck.reiserfs or /sbin/fsck.ext2 to fix the filesystems before the mount.
