[Glenn Shannon]

Actually....I just tried running through the last step of section 16 of the HOWTO and it did it again......any ideas why?

  Ah ha!

  Nevermind....figured it out I think.

  All I did was upgrade from 1.0.1-rc4 to 1.0.3 (figured the newer tools might have some better error handling) and then did a vgcfgrestore to all the partitions/new disk and then ran vgscan and *bam* it's back in business!

  Thanks all!

    Hi Everyone!

    I just installed a new 60G hard drive that I bought, tried to follow section 16 of the HOWTO on the sistina website to move the data from a 13G hard drive to the new 60G hard drive.

    During the vgreduce it segfaulted, and now my entire VG has disappeared *gasp*.

    What do I do now? I tried to look up how to recover from such a situation but alas, no dice.

    Any and all help is appreciated!

    long live LVM!
