You said you fixed your "Group descriptors corrupted" issue by accessing the
vg.
How did you do this?
I also am troubleshooting this LVM "Group descriptors corrupted" problem.
It can boot rescue disk which has lvm tools. pvdisplay and lvscan appear to
work. I don't see any /dev/VolGroup00 directory though.
For the archives, I ended up solving it like the following:
Booted with rescue mode on fedora DVD. Do not select to find local
filesystems.
lvm vgscan -mknodes
lvm vgchange -ay
mkswap -c /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
fsck -a /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # took a long time
Had to redo the swap, because Fedora boot hung at the enabling swap step.
I don't know how the corruption all happened in the first place.
