I had an old PC running as a file server which had been hacked together with old spare parts. There were two hard disks that had several partitions on each and I had combined one partition off each disk into a Volume Group using LVM.
I upgraded to a better server (now with one HD dedicated to the system and two 1TB HDs for data and backup).
Time passed.... (over a year). The old server is now in Silicon Heaven with all the calculators. (<----Red Dwarf)
However, I still have the disks and I now want to try to get the data off the LVs on those two HDs.
I just had a look at the disks using LVM2 on an Ubuntu 9.10 system and it sees the partitions formatted as LVs but doesn't seem to let me do anything with them. I had a go with LVM at command line as well but I don't know enough (but I got the name of the VG).
Anyone able to provide some guidance, please?
Thanks in advance.
