Hello All,

I sure do hope someone has got pointers for me:

Before I did an apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade, I had a
/dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb1 inside a volume group called "software".

After the upgrade the volume group "software" dissapeared probably
because when I do a pvdisplay, i get:

 Couldn't find device with uuid
'pxI5Im-z5y1-6hLM-HGKV-aN5T-hfRa-TDNEby'.
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/hda3
  VG Name               software
  PV Size               91.73 GB / not usable 0
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size (KByte)       4096
  Total PE              23484

  Allocatable           yes
  PE Size (KByte)       4096
  Total PE              47694
  Free PE               36174
  Allocated PE          11520
  PV UUID               pxI5Im-z5y1-6hLM-HGKV-aN5T-hfRa-TDNEby

As you can see /dev/hdb1 does not show up in the list. So i looked
at that disk with fdisk, and /dev/hdb1 showed up as beeing a "linux"
type disk. Not the expected "Linux LVM" type!!$@#@

I've tried setting it back to the "Linux LVM" type using fdisk, but
to no avail.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,
Mark
