When I try to run vgdisplay, I get this error:

vgdisplay -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; please run vgscan

so, I run vgscan:

vgscan
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found active volume group "rootvg"
vgscan -- found active volume group "webvg01"
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume groups

then vgdisplay:

vgdisplay -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; please run vgscan

lvscan -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent;
please run vgscan

pvscan looks normal, tried doing pvscan, then vgscan/lvscan again, but got the same thing. I rebooted the machine, same thing. I removed webvg01 (it was empty), and redid things, same thing. I tried:

mv /etc/lvmtab /tmp
pvscan
vgscan
vgdisplay

same problem....

This is debian stable, using kernel 2.4.22 LVM1, things seem to be working fine otherwise...

Thanks,

Additional information... I removed the webvg01 group by trashing the information at the beginning of the disk (it had nothing in it). I thought it might have been the problem. But it is still there... any ideas?

#2 lore raw

I believe that this happened because I did a vgrename on my volume group and I am running a raid mirrored set beneath it. I broke the mirror, zeroed out the disks one by one and resync'd the mirror, now things are back to normal.
