It's not so much that you can retrieve the private data as using the vxprint may allow you to create new VxVM objects in the exact location as the old objects. If this is done, all the data should be there. This is a bit trickier with encapsulated disks. Was there something in rootdg other than the OS? Usually I use rootdg only for the OS, allowing me to simply recreate it without worring about losing data. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
