A quick recap for folks reading lvm-devel who aren't reading linux-lvm: My primary system is stuck in a busybox shell on an initrd because I can't get LVM to recognize the volume group containing my root volume. No root, no boot. The PV's that make up the volume group are /dev/sde3, /dev/sde4, and /dev/md0. All are present and accounted for, and pvscan recognizes them: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/md0" is associated to an unknown VG (run vgscan) pvscan -- WARNING: physical volume "/dev/sda" belongs to a meta device pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sde3" is associated to an unknown VG (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sde4" is associated to an unknown VG (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 4 [24.68 GB] / in use: 4 [24.68 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] But vgscan doesn't find any volume groups. The result of running vgscan -d is attached to this email. If someone out there in devel land can shed some light on this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
