Since it looks like it overwrote the first 51 cylinders with VTOC and INDEX, that blew away the first 50 cylinders of the first linux partition on the volume.
You could spend an awful lot of effort recovering data out of the end of the volumes, or you could reformat, rebuild your logical volumes, and restore from backup. That first 50 cylinders contains stuff like the filesystem superblock. There are backups on the disk elsewhere, but if you didn't capture all the output when you formatted them the first time you won't know where they are. And actually - since this is a LVM logical volume, they could be anywhere on the three volumes that got whacked - if they were all in the same volume group. No Superblock, no files. Yeah - go to the tapes I'd say. -- Jay Brenneman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
