You can use an (expensive) data recovery expert. |

What you ran into is a failing drive. You couldn't get the data off |
| 13 |
because the drive didn't work, and that has nothing to do with LVM |
| 14 |
whatsoever. |

LVM is not a data security tool. |

LVM is not a backup tool. |

LVM does not cover your ass. |

All that LVM does is make it easy to manipulate file system volumes, |
| 21 |
and to easily make volumes larger than a single disk. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
You still have to take all the same precautions to protect your data |
| 24 |
that you have done without LVM. |
