Hi, I've the same problem. The VG was originally created with LVM 1.0.4, then used (and extended) with 1.1rc1. Now I've the problem after downgrading to 1.0.4. # ./vgscan vgscan -- ERROR "lv_check_consistency(): LV status" volume group "vg00" is inconsistent vgscan -- ERROR: unable to do a backup of volume group "vg00" vgscan -- ERROR "lvm_tab_vg_remove(): unlink" removing volume group "vg00" from "/etc/lvmtab" vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found active volume group "vg00" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group Stephan On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 05:37:28PM -0700, Shane Wegner wrote: > 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.
