[linux-lvm] VGDA error

[Paul.Casteels]

Hello,

I am having trouble using LVM.

This is my configuration :
#uname -a
Linux natl2.uia.ac.be 2.4.9-21custom #1 SMP Tue Feb 26 15:17:02 CET 2002
i686 unknown

# vgdisplay --version

vgdisplay: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.1-rc4

After I started vgchange -a y, most commands report :
ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; please run vgscan

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

and the error does not go away.

I tried a more recent (1.0.3) version of the tools, but this has no
effect.

Best regards and thanks,
