I had already tried the vgcfgrestore, it didn't seem to help but I discovered that the UUID for one of my PVs was missing so I ran the uuid-fixer and now they all have UUIDs again (don't know if that is relevant). I have run the pvdata on all my PVs although I think the right one is the following file run with pvdata -avP /dev/hdd1: http://vefur.hp.is/lvm/pvdata-hdd1.txt I also documented a few more commands: pvdata -avP /dev/hdb2, http://vefur.hp.is/lvm/pvdata-hdb2.txt pvdata -avP /dev/hdc2, http://vefur.hp.is/lvm/pvdata-hdc2.txt pvscan, http://vefur.hp.is/lvm/pvscan.txt vgscan, http://vefur.hp.is/lvm/vgscan.txt On Tue, Sep 11, 2001 at 11:22:41AM +0000, Tomas Edwardsson wrote: > On Sep 07, 2001 10:35 +0000, Tomas Edwardsson wrote: > > Hmm, anyone able to help with this?

Two possibilities: you recently added an LE to the LV and you had a crash > (or an LVM bug), or somehow you had an error writing to disk. You can try > restoring a copy of the metadata with vgcfgrestore to see if it helps. Failing that, check pvdata -avP <disk> to see what is wrong.
