Hello, my name is Leonardo and I have the following problem: I caused fsck -y to be run on a compatibility volume on the actual partition (/dev/hda1), and now EVMS can't find the PV that was on that partition; I assume fsck tried to regenerate what it saw as a damaged ext2 partition, and in the process, erased the EVMS metadata. How can I regenerate that metadata? Thanks for your help. Here's some more information on what I did, in case the above lacks context: I have a container with a few EVMS and compatibility volumes. A few of the compatibility volumes (I hope I'm getting the terminology right) are ext2 partitions. Some time ago, I wanted to copy my EVMS partitions to another drive to try some risky ideas, and I absolutely forgot about /dev/evms versus /dev/; that is, I forgot I should have tried to copy /dev/evms/PARTITION instead of /dev/PARTITION. The problem is I used Gparted for copying, which, without being asked, does fsck -y on partitions it operates on. And here's the core of the problem; I think fsck ruined the EVMS metadata somehow, and now I can't use the PV from EVMS. Again, any help would be very appreciated.
