ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent
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,
micah
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?

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.
