Also I haven't seen anywhere where it says that the logical volumes and volume group must be offline when running vgcfgrestore other than this piece at the end of the vgcfgrestore man page: vgcfgrestore returns an exit state of 0 for success and > 0 for error: 1 no physical volume on command line 2 invalid physical volume name 3 volume grou is active ...... So I will ask the question. Can vgcfgrestore be run on active logical volumes and volume groups?
