Do you see the above errors for storage_00034.vg? What about for vgcfgrestore -l -f /etc/lvm/backup/storage storage ? I'm not sure which one of these backup files I'd use to restore to. You can also re-run pvcreate with the --uuid and --restorefile argument if you want to recreate a "lost" uuid... Still wondering how in the world this happened :) Ray
