Then i rebooted. since then, vgscan segfaults the first 3 times out of every 4 times i run it. eg: [root@rossi linux]# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found active volume group "Main_VG" Segmentation fault [root@rossi linux]# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "Main_VG" Segmentation fault [root@rossi linux]# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "Main_VG" Segmentation fault [root@rossi linux]# vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "Main_VG" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: you may not have an actual VGDA backup of your volume group this means i have to call vgscan 4 times in a row from my initscripts before i can run vgchange.. :( vgcfgrestore also has the same behaviour. :( segfault, segfault, segfault, ok, segfault, segfault segfault ok.. etc.. System is 2.3.99-pre6-pre7. I've looked at the BUGS page but i don't see this problem listed. Further info available on request.. regards, Paul Jakma.
