It may be possible to restore access by recreating the partitions as they were originally. Basically, remove and remake them. Then create a new LV with some name you choose and try the lvscan again.<br><br>The problem is that this arrangement looks like a default rhel/centos/fedora drive with sde1 is boot, sde2 is swap and sde3 is LVM with / and home. If you just create a single LV inside sde3 you may be able to extract most of the stuff up to the boundary that no longer exists. Ugh.<br>

I had a disk starting to develop problems according to SMART. Excessive bad sectors so I replaced it. To make a long story short, I trashed a partition on the new disk accidently so I plugged the old one into a USB/HD jig to try to get some data from it. fdisk -l /dev/sde shows:<br>
<br>
/dev/sde1 1 6079 48829536 83 Linux<br>
/dev/sde2 6080 18238 97667167+ 83 Linux<br>
/dev/sde3 18239 60801 341887297+ 8e Linux LVM<br>
<br>
If I attempt to mount /dev/sde3 it complains about<br>
mount: you must specify the filesystem type<br>
<br>
vgscan doesn't find anything on that drive. It does find a volume group on /dev/sda however.<br>
<br>
I tried an fsck /dev/sde3 and got bunches of errors that looked bad. I answered no to fixing them. I'm not surprised at this since I'm sure this device had an lvm volume on it at one time.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there any way to recover this? Every time I set a system up with LVM I run into these kinds of problems. You'd think I'd learn eventually.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim.<br>
