Hi

is there any tool to convert vgcfgbackup files to a editable format and
back?

I still try to fix some broken PE entries. 
I think the easiest way to fix these would be to work with the last
backup file,
fix them there and then do a vgcfgrestore.

I didn't have a closer look at LVM2 yet .. (Waiting for Heinz's
presentation in Sep in Darmstadt)

But I don't think it's save to migrate to LVM2 with a broken LVM1
system.

It's in the list archive somewhere I think, how to use LVM2 userspace 
tools (no need to install kernel device-mapper) to read/edit/write
LVM1 on-disk metadata.
