[linux-lvm] Volume group inconsistent

[Marcos Dutra]

Hi Zdenek,

I attached 2 files, one with missing status and another my backup today. I
restored my vg from backup but I still have problem, if I create some new
lv volumes, vg status come back with missing status, I don't know why.
Since saturday night I don't create any volumes in this vg and I don't have
any missing status until now, but I would like come back to create new lv
in this volume.
My server is centos-6.6 with lastest updates.

Thanks

Marcos Dutra
