hello, i've got a problem with lvm 1.0.5 (after upgrade from 1.0.3). I made a vgreduce /dev/hdf1. It works fine but after the next reboot I can't access my VG, a vgscan makes this: vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- only found 28926 of 28672 LEs for LV /dev/data/home (0) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" can't get data of volume group "data" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdg1" is associated to unknown VG "data" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hde1" is associated to unknown VG "data" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdc1" is associated to unknown VG "data" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hdd1" is associated to unknown VG "data" (run vgscan) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hda3" is associated to unknown VG "data" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 5 [242.76 GB] / in use: 5 [242.76 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] I've tried nearly everything: downgrading back to 1.0.3 pvcreate -yff /dev/hdxx and vgcfgrestore -n data /dev/xx ... perhaps someone can help me. thanks in advance!
