Importing a volume group

[Consty]

Hi,
My system disk crashed and I don't have a valid system
backup.
I would like to get information from a user volume group made of 3 disks. As I didn't have time to export it, how
can I get get information from it if I rebuilt the system
disk.
Thanks in advance
Regards

You will need to do the following:

mkdir /dev/vgname

mknod /dev/vgname/group c 0x010000 or whatever minor number is next

vgimport -v -s /dev/vgname

vgchange -a y /dev/vgname

vgcfgbackup /dev/vgname

Then mount the filesystems
