Hi! I've hit some problem... I've (had?) one PV (one large partition on a 100GB Maxtor HDD) which made up one VG, called data_vg usind a PE size of 1GB.. In this VG I had so far one LV, called data_lv, using all but one PE of data_vg. I wanted to make this LV smaller (-= 8PEs), using e2fsadm, but this failed. The LV was still there, so I mounted it and the FS was of the right (shortened) size, but after a reboot, vgscan fails. Any hint on how to reactivate the VG?
