Sounds like what I ran into not long ago. (FAQ material?) My VG was so large that vgscan wanted to write out backup info. that was larger than the free space in the initrd that Red Hat had set up. It was suggested to mount a tmpfs volume over /etc, and meanwhile I have been recreating the initrd image leaving enough space to allow vgscan to run. vgscan won't actually say it ran out of storage, but that's what was happening here. -- Mark H.
