I had a UPS outage overnight which took out one side of the power supplies on

problem.
For some reason, all volumes were lost and now I cannot get anything back.
Since I had backups, I decided to clean everything up and start over. I have
yet to figure out how NOT to get a segmentation fault and am at a loss on
where to look next.
Fdisk shows the LVM partitions.
Pvscan gives segmentation fault.
Vgscan gives segmentation fault.
Lvscan shows no volumes.
I've tried countless combinations of vgchange -ay and -an as well as turning
on/off clvmd services, cleaning things up, I'm at a loss with this.
Can someone offer a logical method of finding what is wrong?

Hi Mike,
If the lvm2 commands like pvscan segfault, I'd say that's a bug.
In my (admittedly somewhat warped) belief system, commands like that should
NEVER segfault. They should be bullet proof, no matter what kind of
corruption
they encounter. They should give you a sane error message indicating
what the
problem is. I recommend making sure your software is up to date, then
I'd search bugzilla for lvm2 bugs matching your problem. If you can't find
any similar, I'd file a new bug against the lvm2 component.
Also, make sure all your physical drives are showing up by doing
cat /proc/partitions. I'd also look in dmesg for any weird messages
relating
to the errors.
