[recap snipped] I don't see any way that anything you reported doing could cause the problem you are seeing, and frankly I can't come up with any likely typos in those commands that would do it either. If you had mistyped the destination device as "sda1" or "sda2" instead of "sda", nothing would have been affected (neither ext2/3/4 nor LVM2 store anything in the first 512 bytes). If you had mistyped the blocksize as "446k" or the count as "1k", you would have overwritten the partition table and possibly part of the ext3 file system on that first partition. You've still got what appears to be a good partition table, a good file system on the first partition, and an LVM2 header at the appropriate location in the second partition. e2fsck won't do any writing if it doesn't find something that looks like a valid superblock. Something else had to have happened, but I can't imagine what. What is the history of that LVM2 PV? Is it likely that the LVs were allocated in single extents? As a last resort you could do a brute force search for a 16-bit integer 0xEF53 (little-endian, the byte order is 53 EF) at offset 56 (0x48) in a sector, making that a possible superblock, then use dmsetup to define a virtual device that begins 1024 bytes prior to that sector and see what e2fsck has to say about that (use the "-n" option so that it will open the device read-only). Sounds like it might take a long time, but probably no more than you've already spent. -- Bob Nichols AT comcast.net I am "RNichols42"
