restore deleted data from lvm


Hello folks!

I need to restore data I've been inadvertently deleted from my lvm. This is how it happend.

I have two hdds. One is sda and the other one is sdb. I was planning to add some space to my volume group (vol1) which was made of volume /dev/sdb6. I created one partition on /dev/sda (/dev/sda6), tagged it as Linux lvm and when I was going to format the partition and create filesystem I switched hdds letters and instead of formated my /dev/sda6 I deleted and foramated /dev/sdb6

I know that metadata are stored in /etc/lvm/backup if I'm not wrong but can I restore my data now when I deleted and formated my /dev/sdb6???

Try running testdisk on it from a different drive or Live CD.

If you use a live CD you may have to install testdisk unless you get a dedicated recovery type live distro.

Should do the trick.
