Rebooting won't help this. vgscan _reads_ the LVM metadata on the PVs and tries to update the working copies of the metadata in /etc/lvmtab*. No change to the metadata on the PVs happens during a vgscan run. Does vgscan display any error? What does vgck display? vgck should check the ondisk metadata fine or we need to restore it from archive copies in /etc/lvmconf/ (please save those!) > > any hints? > > ciao > > dieter > > -- > registered linuxuser 199810 > it's time to close windows.... > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
