[linux-lvm] vgscan errors

[Kelly Corbin]

Well, after rooting around, it looks like my partition table was screwed 
up.  However, when try to create the vg and lv again (after re-fdisking 
the disk) it fails at the lv creation.  Vgcreate works with no problem; 
I can reboot and re-activate the vg I just created.  When I run 
lvcreate, I get the following error:

#lvcreate -l23722 -nfirst_lv first_vg
lvcreate -- ERROR 0 writing volume group backup file 
/etc/lvmtab.d/first_vg.tmp in vg_cfgbackup.c [line 268]
lvcreate --  WARNING: you don't have an automatic backup of "first_vg"
lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/first_vg/first_lv successfully created.

vgdisplay then shows the correct number of free/used extents (1 free, 
the rest used), but a vgscan now will fail miserably (before or after 
reboot) with the same error (ERROR 2)

This is a new disk that I'm trying to setup for the first time.

Ideas?

Thanks.
