hi Bruno,
thank you very much for your response.

i tried with nolvm boot option (i typed: "interactive nolvm" at the boot
prompt). when in interactive mode i deleted the lvm drives and the lvm
mountpoint and restored every thing else. from the log i seem the lvm
was only touched when mondo started up from the recovery cd. tahts some
kind of a progress...

well. when back in my restored system the lvm is broken and i cant be
able to restore it. i am no good at lvm, so maybe its just me failing to
repair it or smth...

anyways, ill try some more and maybe, if i dont get lucky, i will post
another log from the restore process.

great to hear that you are planing to implement that "cant touch this"
feature, ill definitely check back next year as i am really missing this
 option.


thanx again sir.

regards,

morla
