If I recreate the volume group and logical volume, will the data contained therein still be available or is there another way to recover the volume?
vgscan -v
vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d"
vgscan -- creating empty "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d"
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)

Duane,
since you're running 1.0.3 I assume you might be hitting an array derefenerence bug in the LVM1 library we fixed in 1.0.6.
Please upgrade to 1.0.7 and try again.

I'm having troubles and can't find the solution in the HOWTO, or the archived mailing lists articles.
I installed lvm on an entire hard drive (hde), made one logical group with a logical volume of 100G.
I mounted to volume, copied files over OK, but vgscan caused segmentation faults.
I rebooted, hoping that it was a conflict between the kernel info and physical info. Obviously, it wasn't.
Here are the results of running pvdisplay, pvscan, vgscan, and vgdisplay.
