I have checked the output of some older config files like vg01.conf.[1-6].old and have found one without the additional hard disk. Hence no data is stored on that disk yet, I wouldn't mind to overwrite the configuration, but is it save doing it? I definitely worried about data loss then.
Thanks, Stephanus

Hi experts,
I added a new hard disk to my system and created it entirely as a new logical volume. Mounting unmounting everything worked until reboot. It stops now with kerel panic and lines like:
(null) -- ERROR 2 writing volume group backup file /etc/lvmtab.d/vg01.tmp vg_cfgbackup.c [line271]
vgscan -- ERROR: unable to do a backup of volume group vg01
vgscan -- ERROR: lvm_tab_vg_remove(): unlink" removing volume group "vg01" from "/etc/lvmtab"
...
Activating volume groups vgchange - no volume groups found
I understand the kernel panic if lvm is unable to find the volume group vg01 because that's my root system. But I don't get the first error.
I rebooted with my Redhat Installation disk: linux rescue
and can activate the volume group by hand and mount the file systems. So it looks to me everything is consistent in the filesystem.
So since I am pretty new to lvm, which output do you additional need to help me?
Thanks in advance, Stephanus
