sorry, I just got the next problem, hopefully not that stupid again :-)

I exported a VG of three PV's last week.
When I now try to import them again, I get:

-> vgimport data3 /dev/hdc /dev/hdd2 /dev/hdb
vgimport -- ERROR: wrong number of physical volumes to import volume group "data3"

I looked into each PV by pvdata and everything seems OK. The UUIDs are OK and there are exactly 3 ones listed. I can't get any hint about any missing PV. Running vgimport -v does not report any additional errors, too.

any advice?

Dieter.

We fixed a vgimport bug with out-of-sequence PV numbers in LVM 1.0.6.

If pvdata shows you, that your PVs are not sequentially numbered (i.e. 1,3,4), you probably want to try 1.0.6.
