Hi folks,

I'm hoping someone can help me help myself with this problem.

Description:

Running out of space on my volume group ("discpool"), I bought and installed a new drive.

Then came this error, which I can't find any info on, is as follows:

vgscan -- ERROR "pv_check_consistency(): allocated PE" volume group "discpool" is inconsistent

The only thing I can find out of the ordinary is this:

Quoted 1 line

pvdata /dev/hde

--- Physical volume ---

PV Name               /dev/hde
VG Name               discpool
PV Size               111.79 GB [234441648 secs] / NOT usable 32.19 MB [LVM: 137 KB]
PV#                   1
PV Status             NOT available
Allocatable           yes
Cur LV                5
PE Size (KByte)       32768
Total PE              3576
Free PE               4294967188
Allocated PE          3684

It's somehow over-allocated the PE on the PV. The other two drives of the 3 in the VG report correctly.

To make things odder, "pvdata -E /dev/hde" reports:

--- List of physical extents ---
PE: 00000 LV: 002 LE: 00028
PE: 00001 LV: 002 LE: 00029

PE: 03572 LV: --- LE: -----
PE: 03573 LV: --- LE: -----
PE: 03574 LV: --- LE: -----
PE: 03575 LV: --- LE: -----

The other drives are fine, and don't display this pattern. Really, this one drive seems like the only issue preventing me from getting the LVM back up and running.

How can this be corrected?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Please disregard. I'll flog myself on the way out. Stupid mistake.
