I wonder if this is why I lost all of my data last Thursday... vg w/ 2 pv's (hde1 & hdg1) and 3 lv's. Add a pv (hdc1) and reboot, and all of a sudden, even though the vg is still there, with 3 pv's and 3 lv's, the lv's won't even fsck (bad magic number in superblock -- doesn't even look like a filesystem was even there). I though maybe it had a problem w/ rearranging the pv's or something... How else could it completely lose track of my data? It was kernel 2.4.0 w/ the several-line vg_extend patch, and the 0.9 tools... Oh, well -- just a WAG...
