[linux-lvm] *** ANNOUNCEMENT *** LVM 0.9.1 beta1 available at www.sistina.com

[Jan Niehusmann]

Another thing with 0.9.1 - or to be exact, 0.9.1 userlevel tools
with the pv order patch, and a 2.4.1-pre3 kernel 
(didn't test with other versions):


I issued the following commands:

pvmove /dev/sda2
vgreduce vg1 /dev/sda2
vgscan

(You guess it - I just removed an old scsi drive from my VG)

Afterwards I wanted to see if everything was OK and did a vgdisplay -v:

--- Volume group ---
VG Name               vg1
VG Access             read/write
VG Status             available/resizable
VG #                  0
MAX LV                256
Cur LV                23
Open LV               20
MAX LV Size           1023.97 GB
Max PV                256
Cur PV                1
Act PV                1
VG Size               72.95 GB
PE Size               16 MB
Total PE              4669
Alloc PE / Size       3217 / 50.27 GB
Free  PE / Size       1452 / 22.69 GB
VG UUID               5HozPs-vN3u-eT3i-LNQp-eAE0-8HIS-KPy1O7

--- Logical volume ---
[...]

--- Physical volumes ---
PV Name (#)           /dev/hda5 (1)
PV Status             available / allocatable
Total PE / Free PE    414 / 0


Uh, what? Only one PV? Where is the other one, /dev/hdc4 with 4447 PEs?
But the system still works well, and vgdisplay -D shows all the PVs.
So I just rebooted and now everything is fine again. 

Any idea what may have caused that behaviour?
