Hi all, I'm not sure how this happened but after rebooting, I am getting the following from vgscan. continuum:~# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "vg0" vgscan -- ERROR "lv_check_consistency(): LV status" volume group "vg0" is inconsistent vgscan -- ERROR: unable to do a backup of volume group "vg0" vgscan -- ERROR "lvm_tab_vg_remove(): unlink" removing volume group "vg0" from "/etc/lvmtab" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group I have no idea what this means, what I can do to recover and am hoping someone could help me out. A pvscan yeilds: continuum:~# pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdi1" is associated to unknown VG "vg0" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hde1" is associated to unknown VG "vg0" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda1" is associated to unknown VG "vg0" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 3 [215.74 GB] / in use: 3 [215.74 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Looks right to me. vg0 is hda1, hde1, and hdi1.
