[linux-lvm] vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group

[d.levitin@gmx.de]

Hello,
I have a problem with my vg00 - the LVM doesn't have it any more. I found
such postings in the list archive, but I don't want to restore - as I think.
To the problem: 
I had 10 disks in my Computer (/dev/sda.../dev/sdj) in the vg00. Then I have
2 of them (/dev/sdj and /dev/sdi) unplugged. I hoped it would be no problem
for the LVM to work with the rest 8, but it doesn't do. I dont' worry about
the volumes on the sdi and sdj, but the other volumes are a problem...
So why the LVM dosn't see the other disks as well?

Thanks a lot for your help
Dmitri
