if you can activate the volume group once the machine is up, it sounds
like there is a problem in the initrd. Perhaps the static binaries
there or the lvm config file it contains...
You turned on logging... When you see "vgs" not found, is that during
bootup, or after?
('vgs' is an LVM command. There could be a script somewhere that is
duplicating the string 'vgs' and inadvertently sending it as an
argument...)
Might need more information for this one... :(

Dear all,
I'm running Centos 4, as part of a Rocks cluster. I have a 13 TB
lvm2 volume. At boot up, the volume group doesn't get activated.
When I run 'vgchange -ay' it activates the volume group without
error and I can then mount it. I've turned lvm logging on and I
notice the message 'toollib.c:508 vgchange Volume group "vgs" not
found'. I don't think I have a 'vgs' volume group. At least I don't
find I have one if I use tools like 'vgscan'. The only thing that
shows up is my 13 TB volume, as it should be. I haven't been able to
find any information on such an error. I used yum update to make
sure I had the latest lvm2 packages for my distro. I can't upgrade
distros, because that would screw other stuff up. Any info on this,
or recommendations as to how I could track it down?
Thanks,
Eli
