The LVM2 tools get confused if they see 2 VGs (1 live, 1 exported) with the same name. It is not trivial to change to tools to cope with this, so for now, you should avoid getting into this situation. [If necessary, use lvm.conf filters to hide the exported PVs while you rename the live VG to something else.] Alasdair -- agk@uk.sistina.com _______________________________________________ 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/
