It's highly unlikely you lost data, as the upgrade would not have changed the on-disk metadata. If all else fails, you could boot off an LVM-enabled LiveCD and you'll find all your volumes present. But first we need to find out what's going on (my machine uses baselayout-2 and openrc & my lvm volumes were unaffected. What output do you get from pvscan vgscan lvscan vgchange -a y and what's in the various logs regarding lvm startup? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
