Hi, I read a few emails on this mailing list with the same problem. I'm using LVM version 1.0.1-rc4, kernel 2.4.7, Redhat 7.2. I've been unable to activate a VG since yesterday. I've been trying to recover data from the VG using the "pvcreate, vgcfgrestore, vgscan, vgchange" procedure given as a solution to this problem. I still get the following error: vgchange -- ERROR "parameter error" setting up snapshot copy on write exception table for "/dev/vgtest/snap.02" I've tried using all the old config files for this VG in /etc/lvmconf, but even the oldest file has the "messy" snapshot since the snapshot creation was being done as part of an hourly cron job. I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether there is any other way to still recover the data on the disk ? Also, is there a later version of LVM in which this problem has been fixed ?
