I upgraded from FC1 to FC3 yesterday and had some LVM issues.
Basically, vgscan would exit with an error and thus vgchange wouldn't
get run at all. I upgraded to the latest lvm2 utilities and although
the error messages are the same the utilities don't exit with an error
any more. Still, I think something is wrong with my volume group. One
of the disks used to be in another system with LVM. I now use a
partition on that disk, possibly instead of the whole disk, I don't
really recall how I had it set up. Could there be metadata lurking on
that disk that confuses the utilities? Below is the output from
vgdisplay. It's correct when it says VG desire doesn't exist. I've
tried removing it anyway but can't seem to get rid of the phantom VG
desire.
Thanks,
Aran
