When I try to run vgdisplay, I get this error:

vgdisplay -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent;
please run vgscan

so, I run vgscan:

vgscan                                                       
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- found active volume group "rootvg"
vgscan -- found active volume group "webvg01"
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your
volume groups

then vgdisplay:

vgdisplay -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent;
please run vgscan

lvscan -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; 
               please run vgscan

pvscan looks normal, tried doing pvscan, then vgscan/lvscan again, but
got the same thing. I rebooted the machine, same thing. I removed
webvg01 (it was empty), and redid things, same thing. I tried:

mv /etc/lvmtab /tmp
pvscan
vgscan
vgdisplay

same problem....

This is debian stable, using kernel 2.4.22 LVM1, things seem to be
working fine otherwise...

Thanks,
micah
