I did some expanding and shrinking of my volumes and then attempted to take a snapshot. I got an error message that started "Invalid LV in extent map". I now see that message when I do lvscan or pvscan as well. This looks very bad, and seems to be the same situation as described here: http://weblog.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/2008/02/20/000/index.html Despite these warnings, I *seem* to be able to use my volumes. However, I have stopped doing anything on the system to try to prevent corruption. First, is it safe to continue to use the system? Second, what can I do to diagnose or recover? I'm running a stock Debian 2.6.24 kernel with a single SCSI disk. Some of its partitions are dedicated to an LVM group, out of which most of my partitions are carved. The LVM groups were originally created under EVMS with a 2.4 kernel. I converted them to straight LVM months ago. Thanks.
