Hi,
  (I'm not on this list - because LVM just works for me normally! - so
	please cc me)

	I'm trying to move from 2.4.x to 2.5.x and in the process move
from lvm1 to lvm2 but when I install lvm2 I get the error:

  VG data differs between PVs /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdg3
  1 PV(s) found for VG totality: expected 2
  Logical volume (cross) contains an incomplete mapping table.
  VG data differs between PVs /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdg3

This was from running the 'pvs' command in lvm2; this seg'd at that
point (a backtrace showed it was in ttree_creat, report_object,pvscan,
process_each_pv, pvscan, pvs, help, main). However the main error
(VG data differs) happened with most commands. I guess what would be
useful would be a way to display the VG data off each PV - how would I
do this?

The setup is a pair of IDE drives with a striped lvm set accross
the drives for speed.

This is a Debian/sid system running the lvm10 package (1.0.6-2)
and failing on the lvm2 package (1.95.10-2)

Below I've included the output of a few commands from the working 
lvm1 installation - more info available as required.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
