No, I don't have the output of any of those things. I do have the
original /etc/filesystems. Also, no, I don't have backups so I'm hoping
to recover the data somehow. I had noticed the importvg command, but
I was afraid to run it before I was sure that was the right thing to do.
Hmmm, so should I report to my boss that the data has been lost?
Thanks for the info, even if it's not what I wanted to hear :)
