Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] metadata too large for circular buffer - any way to increase PV metadatasize?

And if you have problems making space in the metadata to add the PV to it,
a workaround is to temporarily use in-filesystem metadata:
create a metadata dir in a local filesystem (NOT an LV), and place an up-to-date
backup copy of the metadata there (from vgcfgbackup)
update lvm.conf to start using this metadata (metadata/dirs)
- use verbose display options to check it's doing this
pvcreate as in my last message to remove the too-small metadata area
- you're now relying entirely on the in-filesystem metadata
add the new PVs to the VG as before
revert the lvm.conf change
