Yes, the printouts from pvscan, lvscan and vgscan are run off the rescue
cd. So my hypothesis is that I can recreate the configuration for lvm
using the tools on the rescue cd and get the machine up again.

Didn't really find what I needed in the lvm-howto, but I guess the
answer is out there. I've tried a bunch of goole-searchdes, thankyou,
but not the exact one you've suggested. Maybe it's the magic one :-)

Thanx,
