Does this system have dual cpu's? If so, that might be where it's
having problems as I ran into that on testing bare-metal recovery
options this past week.<br>
<br>
To my knowledge, Knoppix and many others do not have LVM commands (vgscan, lvcreate, etc).<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
Physical failure of the HDD within that partition<br>
Corrupt LVM structuring (but no physical failure)<br>
Trying to access LVM2 volumes with LVM1.<br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
