Hi,

I have installed the LVM-0.9-1 on my Linux Suse7.0 Kernel 2.2.18 and I have marked /dev/sdd1 with Linux LVM label. When I run vgscan for the first time it tells the follows:

$ vgscan -v
vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d"
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- scanning for all active volume group(s) first
vgscan -- found inactive volume group "data"
vgscan -- reading data of volume group "data" from physical volume(s)
vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" can't get data of volume group "data" from physical volume(s)
vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): allocated LE of LV" creating "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d"

What's the problem? Could anybody help my?

Thanks a lot

Dmitri

Well, this is an ancient LVM version:

- what does pvscan say?

- what does "vgscan -d" say?

Send both outputs plus the file "Dmitri.vgda" created with
"dd if=/dev/sdd1 bs=1k count=4k of=Dmitri.vgda" in a bziped tar archive to me for further investigation ([email protected]).
