[Sussex] Retrieving part of an LVM Volume...

[Richie Jarvis]

Hi Folks,

I have a bit of a prob at the moment.  One of my MythTV disks has just 
died (making a lovely 'Clunk' noise every second or so - nice!)  Anyway, 
this disk was part of an LVM volume spanning 2 disks called 
/dev/MythGroup/MythVol.  The other disk is still fine, and I can read it 
without problem.  Now, as LVM is a simple soul, and the failed disk was 
the second disk, in theory, I should be able to recover the files on the 
first disk, as they should have been written from the start onwards - 
the question is how?

I've been googling around a bit, and have seen a few articles which 
explain how to recover an entire LVM volume by moving machine, but so 
far I am at a loss as to how to get the data off the first disk intact.

Obviously, as this is just TV, its not urgent or anything, it would just 
be nice :)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Cheers,

Richie
