Hi experts,
I added a new hard disk to my system and created it entirely as a new
logical volume. Mounting unmounting everything worked until reboot. It
stops now with kerel panic and lines like:
(null) -- ERROR 2 writing volume group backup file /etc/lvmtab.d/vg01.tmp
vg_cfgbackup.c [line271]
vgscan -- ERROR: unable to do a backup of volume group vg01
vgscan -- ERROR: lvm_tab_vg_remove(): unlink" removing volume group
"vg01" from "/etc/lvmtab"
...
Activating volume groups
vgchange - no volume groups found
I understand the kernel panic if lvm is unable to find the volume group
vg01 because that's my root system. But I don't get the first error.
I rebooted with my Redhat Installation disk: linux rescue
and can activate the volume group by hand and mount the file systems. So
it looks to me everything is consistent in the filesystem.
So since I am pretty new to lvm, which output do you additional need to
help me?
Thanks in advance,
Stephanus
