I had to install a new boot disk on a (ubuntu) file server that also has a LV array of hard disks.

Somewhere on the 'net there used to be nifty guide of a few steps to recover the array after such situations, but I don't seem to be able to find it again other than some overly complex solutions that don't really apply.

Essentially, all I think I need to do is scan for the array and activate it. It's just that the documentation I'm finding has my head spinning. It can't be that hard, can it?



Can someone point me in right direction?

Thanks

Nevermind. I found the guide I was looking for
