Hello People,
sorry to insist, but this is important to me somehow...
So I installed LVM on my iMac over the whole disk; Now it doesn't boot. I was willing to reconstruct -try to, at least- a partition table to get back my data.
This is an except from Olaf kind responses:
There is no way to get the data back.
Can you please confirm that, when creating an LVM volume, data previously stored in ext2 and hfs partitions is erased ?
Thanks for your input.
If you already had a working LVM setup with data on it, how did you boot it? My guess is that you removed you pdisk label which is required for MacOS and therefore lost all your data in MacOS. Anyways, creating an LVM setup on an iMac makes no sense as long as you dont have a boot able CD to mount the LVM root. your harddrive will be not bootable as soon as you put an fdisk label on it.
