Please can you try to upgrade lvm2 (to RHEL/CentOS 5.4 version, the reported version is from 5.3) and try it again (bu after restoring correct metadata)? > Now, to fix it, can I issue: > vgreduce --force --removemissing VolGroup01 The best is revert metadata to version before the failed operation (you pasted the correct version above:-) using vgcfgrestore command. (The whole problem is stored "MISSING" flag in metadata, you can also use last metadata backup, remove that flag manually and restore this edited version.)
