Hi,

[root@ny176 log]# lvm version
   LVM version:     2.01.14 (2005-08-04)
   Library version: 1.01.04 (2005-08-02)
   Driver version:  4.4.0

/etc/ is a local writeable filesystem. I believe this occurs when I'm 
issuing a vgchange --addtag and/or vgchange -a y. I have scripts scripts
that are executing these commands but nothing that should be done in 
parallel.
