If so, that might be where it's having problems as I ran into that on testing bare-metal recovery options this past week. To my knowledge, Knoppix and many others do not have LVM commands (vgscan, lvcreate, etc). If you're having problems trying to get vgscan to recognize the LVM partition of your HDD, then you either have one of the following conditions: Physical failure of the HDD within that partition Corrupt LVM structuring (but no physical failure) Trying to access LVM2 volumes with LVM1. Although, if you're using the FC3 recovery disk, then it should work if you don't have issues with the drive nor LVM corruption. Backups? -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit.
