I tried to add more space to my Volume Group in Fedora 17 and the process seems to have borked: LVM did not restart. I booted into partition manager and deleted the new parition but that seems to have compounded the problem. Now when I try and restore the Volume Group I get this message:
I know it is important to try and figure things out on your own so I found this info on the net about the UUID:
I really don't want to mess up anything more as I would rather not loose all my data so if someone could post DETAILED steps as to what I have to do to handle this UUID problem I would appreciate it. We learn sometimes by breaking things and I realize now that I should not have deleted the partition: I should have just have restored the volume group.

pvck
PVCK(8) System Manager's Manual PVCK(8)NAME
pvck - check physical volume metadata
SYNOPSIS
pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--labelsector sector
By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0. This parameter allows you to specify a
different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations. For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB. This area of the disk may be scanned by
using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
