I did vgcfgbackup, rebooted to be sure, it rebooted w/o errors. I dont know why - I did nothing that I thought 'THIS WILL FIX IT' My only WAGs are that all those fdisks, (now including sfdisk - which apparently is more correct) fixed something that was broken. Or maybe one of the many LVM tools fixed it on a *scan, *display, etc. One of these days Ill actually use a new drive to back stuff up, rather than filling it with more toys & music.
