Twice now, I've had a VG "disappear" on me when I reboot my system. These two instances were widely separated in time, with several reboots in between. When the system comes up vgscan runs, but I get this error: vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "vg01" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group The first time this happened, I wound up just restoring all my logical volumes from backup. This time I would like to try to figure out: 1. How to recover from this without restoring everything from backup. 2. Why this happens so that a fix can be created. So, tell me what I need to provide in the way of diagnostic information, and I'll collect that. To start with, this system is a slack/390 operating system, 64-bit, running a 2.4.26 kernel. I'm running LVM 1.0.8.
